Regency Cottage

Regency Cottage is a detached cottage located in Wylye, dating from the mid-17th century and altered in the early 18th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a thatched roof, featuring gable end ashlar stacks and coped verges. The building has an L-plan layout with a gable-end baffle-entry.

The cottage is two stories high and has four windows with casements. The entrance includes a planked door with strap hinges, a reset chip-carved lintel, and a tiled canopy to the right. To the left of the door, there is a single-light and a three-light leaded casement. On the first floor, there are three leaded two-light casements and one wooden ovolo-mullioned casement. The left side of the cottage has a two-light casement on the ground floor and a single casement on the first floor. The right side features a 20th-century weatherboarded extension to the rear wing.

At the back of the main range, there is a glazed door and two three-light recessed hollow chamfered mullioned casements with hoodmoulds, one of which has a dropped sill. The first floor has two-light and three-light leaded casements beneath the raised eaves from the 18th century. The rear wing contains two-light and three-light leaded casements, as well as a single recessed chamfered light, which may have been reset.

Inside, the cottage features chamfered beams with bar stops in the east room and enriched jewel stops in the west room. There are open fireplaces with chamfered lintels on stone jambs and a plank and muntin partition, with part of a chamfered doorcase cut by a later doorway. The cottage was restored by Lieutenant Colonel Jeans in the mid-20th century.
