Description
No. 101 is a detached timber-framed cottage located in Westbury Leigh, dating from the 17th century or possibly the early 18th century. The building has two storeys and sits on a substantial stone footing. The gable front facing the road is finished in pebbledash, while the rest of the exterior is rendered. It features a pantile roof with two chimneys and a catslide at the rear over a box-framed side wall that includes brick panels.
On the first floor, there is a two-light casement window, and the gable has two small ground floor windows along with a central recessed doorway that has a cement surround. The southwest side has two ranges of windows, with small modern two-light casements on the first floor and sash windows on the ground floor, which have glazing bars to the right and moulded architraves to the left. There is a lean-to extension on the northeast gable end.
Inside, the cottage has been somewhat altered but still retains a large fireplace in the back room on the first floor. This building is noted as the birthplace of the Methodist missionary Masham (or Marsham).
