May Cottage May Cottage And Winniford Cottage Winniford Cottage

May Cottage and Winniford Cottage are two attached cottages dating from the 17th century, with later changes to the windows. They are built with coursed Lias stone walls and have a thatch roof, featuring a gable end on the left and an attachment on the right. There is a 20th-century brick chimney stack on the left gable. The cottages are two storeys high and have three windows, with enlarged wooden casements (two lights) on the ground floor and smaller two-light wooden casements above, all featuring glazing bars. There are two upper windows in the west gable wall, each with wooden lintels. The front doors are located beside each other at the center, with a loft accessed by a 20th-century recess-panel door. A hipped thatch canopy supported by wooden posts extends over the entrance. The right cottage has a wide plank door with a heavy wooden lintel above.

Inside, Winniford Cottage features plank and muntin partitions on both sides of a cross-passage, dating to around 1600. There is an open fireplace in the room on the right, with stone jambs that are chamfered and a segmental lintel that is also stop-chamfered. A mid-chamfered beam with unusual roll-and-tongue stops is present as well.
