Tess' Cottage

Tess' Cottage is a cottage that has been built in more than one phase, likely in the early and late 17th century. It features coursed rubble walls and a thatched roof, which is half-hipped on the left side and hipped on the right. There are brick stacks located to the left of the door and at the end of the ridge on the right. The cottage has one and a half storeys and an irregular arrangement of windows. The ground floor on the left has restored, two-light windows with stone mullions, along with some 17th-century timber-mullioned windows. There are also one, two, and three-light casements, some with glazing bars and others with leaded lights. Various doors and openings have been blocked over time.

Inside, the cottage features deep stop-chamfered ceiling beams, beaded plank and muntin partitions with some original doors, and fireplaces with chamfered jambs and bressummers. The ceiling has intersecting beams and wall-plates. The original layout of the cottage is difficult to determine; it may have originally been two tenements and possibly included a cross-passage.
