Forge Cottage Spring Cottage Including Linked Barn To East

Forge Cottage and Spring Cottage, including the linked barn to the east, are a pair of semi-detached cottages dating from the early 17th century, with alterations. Forge Cottage, on the left, consists of two sections. The original right section has plastered walls and a thatched roof, while the later left section, likely from the 18th century, has a slate roof. There are two brick stacks, one at the east end and another at the junction with Spring Cottage, which features a buttress at the connection point. The left section is two storeys high, with one sash window with glazing bars on each floor. The right section has one storey and an attic, with a ground floor that includes one casement window with glazing bars and one window featuring a bottom-hung fanlight with vertical bars. The attic has one dormer window with a centre horizontal bar. At the left end, a single-storey range connects the house to the barn, which has a flush door. The barn is constructed with cob walls on a brick base and has a thatched roof that is hipped at the left end. Inside the thatched section of the house, the ground floor features a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and a deep chamfered ceiling beam.

Spring Cottage has walls that are part brick and part plastered cob, with a thatched roof that is hipped at the right end. It has a door with a glass panel and one casement window with glazing bars on the ground floor. The attic contains one half-dormer with a similar casement window. At the right end, there is a single-storey brick lean-to with a corrugated sheet roof. The interior has not been inspected, but according to the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England, it contains an original doorway with a four-centred head and stop-chamfered ceiling beams. The roof is of upper cruck construction.
