Cleeve Cottage

Cleeve Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century that was refronted in the early 19th century as part of extensive remodelling for the Fust Estate. The front is made of brick, while the sides and rear are constructed from rubble with stone dressings. It has a pantiled roof featuring raised coped verges and kneelers, along with a brick gable stack on the left side. The house has a two-room plan and stands two storeys high with two windows, all of which are three-light casements with three panes each. There is a central plank door, and all openings have a segmental head. To the right, there are two circular tie-plates, and to the left, a single-storey brick lean-to with a six-pane window. The south side has a blocked ground floor window under a timber lintel. The rear features two windows, both two-light casements with brick segmental heads; the right ground floor window has leaded lights, and all ground floor windows are fitted with plank and batten shutters. The interior has not been inspected but is reported to contain a winder stair and stop-chamfered beams. Cleeve Cottage is marked on a map from 1659 of Hill, which was plotted for Edward Fust, who was then the Lord of the Manor.
