Drewitt Cottage

Drewitt Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century. It is timber framed with colourwashed brick noggings and has a thatched roof. The building is single storey with an attic and consists of two and a half bays, featuring a gable lobby entry in the half-bay, a hall, and an inner room. There is a narrow bay behind the stack, which may have originally been an outbuilding, that was extended to a full bay likely in the 18th century, constructed in chalkstone and used as a dairy with a lateral stack. The framing consists of three panels high with corner braces. The entrance features a half-glazed door within a 20th-century timber porch. The windows are timber casements, and the brick flue to the stack has been rebuilt. The roof is half-hipped on the left, hipped on the right, and sweeps over two dormers on each side. Inside, there are spine beams with large bar stops in the hall bay and double bar stops in the inner room. The position of the stairs has been altered, and there are small windbraces to the principal rafters of the central bay. There are also 20th-century extensions at both ends of the cottage.
