51 Church Road

No. 51 Church Road is a cottage dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The building features a combination of flint, rubble, rendering, and timber-framing, with stone and brick dressings. It has a half-hipped thatched roof and a brick stack located to the left of the center. The cottage is one and a half storeys tall with irregular window placements.

On the left side, there is a 19th-century sash window with vertical glazing bars, next to a 20th-century plain window. The central feature is a four-light stone-mullioned window with hollow-chamfered jambs and mullions, topped with a weathered hood-mould. The outer lights of this window have leaded glazing. To the right, there is a two-light casement window with a segmental brick head. A part-glazed plank door is positioned to the right of the center. The upper floor displays exposed timber framing with a tension brace on the left side, and a rebuilt dormer featuring a 19th-century six-pane sash window. The right gable wall was likely rebuilt in the early 20th century using stretcher bond brickwork after a collapse.

Inside, the cottage has deep chamfered ceiling beams, some of which have cymastops. The main room includes a fireplace with a chamfered, four-centred timber bressummer and continuous stone jambs, along with a recess for a former newel stair. The southern ground floor room has an open fireplace, while an upper floor room features a stone fireplace with a four-centred head that bears 18th-century graffiti. Doorways throughout the cottage have pointed heads, and many original roof timbers remain visible.
