Description
Wylands Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the mid-17th century. The left side is constructed of dressed limestone, while the right side features timber framing. The roof, which was originally thatched, is now tiled and has a coped verge on the left and a half-hip on the right, with brick stacks. The cottage has a former through passage plan and is single storey with an attic, featuring two windows.
The entrance is a planked door located in a tiled porch to the left of the centre. To the left of this door, there is a three-light ovolo-mullioned casement window with a hoodmould, and to the right, there are two two-light casements. A large two-storey stone dormer on the left has a three-light ovolo-mullioned casement with a hoodmould for the attic, and above it, there is a two-light ovolo-mullioned casement. To the right, there is a small gabled dormer with a two-light casement, and the right part of the timber-framed section is weatherboarded. The left return features a chamfered light casement on the first floor, while the right return has two two-light casements. The rear of the cottage includes a flat-roofed extension, a gabled porch, and casements, as well as three gabled dormers on the roof.
Inside, the cottage retains several 17th-century features, including deep chamfered beams with stepped stops, an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel set on chamfered stone jambs, and planked doors on the ground floor. The first floor has two moulded stone Tudor-arched fireplaces, with the middle room's fireplace featuring rosettes in the spandrels and a herringbone brick back. The east room contains a carved wooden spice cupboard door with butterfly hinges. Originally designed as a through-passage plan cottage, the middle stack was positioned against the passage, which is now filled by stairs.
