Description
Gable Cottage, including the front boundary wall, is a detached cottage dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th century and later. Originally designed in an open-hall style, it features rubble stone walls and a concrete tile roof with coped gables. The cottage has a stone stack at the left end and brick stacks near the center and at the right end. It is one storey high with an attic and has a 20th-century open timber porch with a gabled roof. The entrance includes a ledged door set in a 4-centred arched frame.
On the ground floor, there are two moulded timber mullioned windows with casements that have a central horizontal glazing bar, along with a similar window at the right end that has unmoulded mullions. The attic contains two hipped dormers with 20th-century metal casements featuring lead lights. The roof is constructed using jointed cruck techniques.
Inside, the cross-passage reveals the head and one jamb of a timber shouldered-arched doorway leading into the hall, which has a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and stone jambs, along with one chamfered ceiling beam. The left end room, located at the "lower" end, also has a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and stone jambs, which has been partially reconstructed, and features two chamfered ceiling beams. The front boundary wall is a simple structure made of rubble stone.
