House Adjoining North End Of Hawker'S Cottage Including Front Garden Walls And Gateway

This building is a house that adjoins the north end of Hawker's Cottage, including the front garden walls and gateway. It has origins dating back to the 17th century. The exterior is colourwashed and plastered, likely cob on a stone plinth, with a wheat straw thatched roof that is gabled at the right end. The right gable end features a stone chimney that has been partly rebuilt in brick. The house has a single depth plan and may have originally served as a cottage with a workshop and living space above, featuring a cloam oven in the first-floor fireplace.

The current layout consists of two rooms wide, with a staircase located in the ground floor room on the left. There is a 19th-century lean-to projection at the front right, and another 19th-century lean-to adjoins the right gable end. The house is two storeys tall and has a three-window front, with a gabled timber porch that has raking sides and an arched head. The ground floor windows include a two-light 19th-century casement with six panes per light on the left, a similar window to the left of the porch, and a two-light 20th-century transomed window with twelve panes per light on the right.

On the first floor, the left window is a two-light 19th-century casement with eight panes per light, the middle window is a three-light with four panes per light, and the right window is a two-light with three panes per light. The ground floor room on the right features a slate floor, three cross beams, and a renewed fireplace with a plain granite lintel. The left ground floor room has two cross beams and axial ceiling beams. The staircase has late 17th-century splat balusters. The right first-floor room includes a large fireplace with a roughly chamfered fireplace beam and a cloam oven. The roof is constructed with collar rafters that are pegged into the principals, which are halved and pegged at the apex, with a closed truss above the wall to the right of the stairs.

The garden wall is made of rubble stone and features a raised section with ovolo moulded caps on each side of a 19th-century gabled gateway. The ovolo moulded caps may have originated from Stowe House, which was dismantled in 1739.
