Description
Winthill Cottage is a 17th-century cottage with a 19th-century extension, constructed from rendered rubble and topped with a pantile roof. The building features a two-unit cross passage and has undergone some alterations, including changes to the staircase. It stands two storeys tall and has two windows, all of which are 19th-century two-light casements. The central entrance is a 20th-century half-glazed door located beneath a ramshackle lean-to porch. There are stacks at the center and ends of the building, and a single-storey catslide extension is present at the rear.
Inside, the cross passage includes a chamfered beam. The room on the right (east) features a massive inglenook with a chamfered bressumer and a deep, coved mantle, along with three step chamfered axial beams. There is a balustered 18th-century ventilation grill leading to an adjacent cupboard. The staircase, which has been altered to a single flight, runs from the right room. The roof structure is not visible.
