Description
Honeycombe Cottage is a detached house that was originally built as a 16th-century three-bay open-hall house. Around 1600, the hall was floored over and a chimney was inserted. In the 18th century, a kitchen and an outhouse were added to the east. The walls of the original section are made of stone and flint, with some parts plastered, while the 18th-century additions are constructed of plastered cob. The cottage features a half-hipped thatched roof, with brick stacks at each end of the original section and in the 18th-century block.
The building is one storey with attics. A brick porch with a hipped thatched roof leads to a panelled door. On the ground floor, there are two horizontally sliding sash windows with glazing bars, as well as a small casement window in a blocked door opening. The attic includes three dormers, two of which have glazing bars, and one that retains remnants of lead lights. The central dormer, located above the porch, has a hipped roof. The 18th-century block features two small casement windows.
The roof is of jointed cruck construction and shows signs of smoke-blackening along its entire length. Inside, the west ground floor room has two chamfered ceiling beams, while the central room has intersecting deep chamfered ceiling beams. The east room contains a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and jamb, and there is a smaller open fireplace in the 18th-century kitchen.
