49 Wick Lane

A cottage of the C18. The former rear addition (49A Wick Lane) of 1913-1914 is not included in the listing.

MATERIALS: it is built of rendered cob and red brick, under a thatched roof that is half-hipped at its north end and gabled to the south. There is a north gable-end chimneystack.

PLAN: it has a rectangular footprint with a small addition at its north end.

EXTERIOR: the cottage faces west onto Wick Lane and is a two-storey building of three bays. The principal elevation is symmetrical, with two timber casement windows of two lights on each floor which flank a former glazed porch with segmental roof, now a bay window. The south gable wall is built of brick, with raised coping and kneelers at the gable apex; the chimneystack depicted on historic photographs is not extant. The opposing end is half-hipped, and the upper half below hip is half-timbered, with whitewashed brick infill between the thin horizontal and vertical timbers.

Pursuant to s1 (5A) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (‘the Act’) it is declared that 49A Wick Lane, formerly an addition to the rear, is not of special architectural or historic interest, however any works which have the potential to affect the character of the listed building as a building of special architectural or historic interest may still require LBC and this is a matter for the LPA to determine.
