Description
Armourers is a detached cottage built around 1700, with a 1955 addition. It features dressed limestone and a thatched roof with a half hip on the right and a brick stack on the left. The cottage is single storey with an attic and has two casement windows. The central planked door is set in a chamfered case within a stone gabled porch that has a chamfered round-arched opening. To the left of the door is a two-light chamfered mullioned casement, and to the right is a single chamfered light. There are two eyebrow dormers, each with 2-light leaded casements. The right side of the cottage has a two-light casement on the ground floor and a single casement in the attic. The 1950s extension on the left is not of special interest. At the rear, there is a small casement window that lights the stairs on the left, an aluminium casement, and a projecting buttress on the right, which may have been for a bread oven. The attic features a single cast-iron casement in a brick eyebrow dormer. Inside, the cottage has chamfered beams, one of which has a deep chamfer and is likely reused, along with a carved chamfered corbel on the south wall that was used for a lamp.
