Bramble Cottage

Bramble Cottage is a house that dates back to around 1635. Originally built as a single dwelling, it was later converted into two cottages and is now a house again. The exterior features knapped flint with red brick dressings and a thatched roof, complete with end brick chimneystacks. The building has two storeys and three windows on the front. The first floor has early 19th-century six-pane casement windows, while the ground floor has 20th-century casement windows. There is a plank door and a 20th-century porch with chamfered piers. The left side of the house has three early 19th-century pointed arched windows, and the rear has a 20th-century casement window and a flat-roofed extension.

Inside, the north room has roughly hewn ceiling beams and an open fireplace with a tiled back that includes a beehive-shaped bread oven and a proving cupboard. The vestibule is stone flagged with exposed beams. The south room features a 17th-century chamfered spine beam and an open fireplace lined with red tiles. There are also some early 19th-century plank doors, exposed beams, and some internal walls made of a type of mud. A house of similar garden size is mentioned in the 1635 Glebe Terrier and is positively identified in court rolls from 1657. Between 1806 and 1839, the building was converted into two cottages.
