Description
Oakhurst Cottage is a house that was once two cottages, dating from the early 17th century, and may include earlier features. It was likely converted into two cottages in the 18th century and underwent renovation around 1982. The building has a timber frame set on a stone plinth, with rendered infill and weatherboarding on the first floor, topped by a tiled roof and a brick chimneystack. It stands two storeys high and features three windows with 20th-century casements. The original door case is located in the center of the east elevation, indicated by the absence of a plinth, but it is now part of a 20th-century extension to the southwest, which replaced an earlier wooden shed. The north side had an earlier lean-to that has also been removed. The ground floor shows exposed box framing, although the bottoms of the upright posts are missing. The 18th-century brick chimneystack has been modified at the top in the late 20th century.
Inside, the cottage features an open fireplace with a spice cupboard and a bread oven, a parlour fireplace, a queen post roof, some old floorboards, and exposed framing with jowled corner posts and some curved tension braces.
