Description

County Oak Cottage is a Grade II listed building located on County Oak Lane. The north-eastern section of the cottage is a timber-framed structure dated 1705, based on documentary evidence. It is attached to a possibly older timber-framed barn that features an ostler's room above. There is also a later 19th-century extension added to the building. The 18th-century cottage is two storeys high, with the ground floor refaced in brick and the first floor tile hung, topped with a tiled roof. Inside, the cottage showcases exposed framing of thin scantling, open fireplaces, and a cupboard that originally housed the stair ladder. The former barn is a single-storey structure made of red brick, displaying some exposed square framing at the rear and a large brick chimney stack. The later 19th-century extension is constructed using matching materials.
