Description

Cosy Cottage is a house dating from the early 16th century, originally timber-framed. The east end was partly rebuilt in painted brick during the 19th century and underwent alterations during a restoration around 1980. The cottage features a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the west and hipped to the east, replacing a 19th-century slate roof at that end. It has a ridge stack, and the east end showcases an exposed thin cruck truss along with a pair of casement windows on each floor.

The north front includes a 20th-century porch with thatch swept over it, a ground floor casement pair, and a timber-framed dormer gable with another casement pair. The thatch is swept down to the right of the dormer gable and continues beneath as a hood over the casement pair to the left. The left end has framing only at the ground floor, with the upper part in painted brick, and features a pair of casement windows on each floor. Inside, there are two pairs of crucks supporting a one-bay former open hall.
