Description

Camel Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed of dressed limestone and features a thatched roof with coped verges and brick stacks. The gable end faces the road. The cottage is single-storey with an attic and has two windows. There is a 20th-century porch and a steel casement window to the left, a 2-light wooden casement in a blocked doorway, and a 3-light recessed chamfered mullioned casement to the right. The cottage also has two eyebrow dormers with 20th-century casements. On the right side, there is a 2-light mullioned casement and a projecting semi-circular bread oven on the ground floor, along with two 2-light 20th-century casements in the attic. A 20th-century extension on the left side is not of special interest. Inside, there is a chamfered beam with jewelled stops and an open fireplace with a cambered chamfered lintel on stone jambs in the southern room. The middle room features a chamfered beam with stepped stops and stairs leading to the rear. Originally, Camel Cottage was a single-cell cottage, with an additional cell added to the south in the late 17th century.
