Description

Tylers Cottage is a detached house dating from the late 17th century, with a mid-18th century refronting and an early 20th-century reroofing. It is timber-framed and rebuilt in Flemish bond brick with stone dressings, and has a Bridgwater tiled roof with brick stacks. The house has two storeys and four windows at the front. A door with six fielded panels sits to the right of the centre, within a cyma-moulded architrave with a flat stone hood on brackets, flanked by three-light cyma-mullioned casements. A plat band runs along the first floor, above which are three two-light mullioned casements, and one blocked window to the left. The left return has a three-light segmental-headed casement to both the ground and first floors, with some original timber-framing retained. The right return presents two two-light mullioned casements to both floors, alongside moulded brick string courses, two bull's eyes, and an illegible datestone in the attic. The rear of the property consists of partially timber-framed sections and 19th-century extensions with casements and planked doors. Inside, there are timber-framed partitions, a section of the original timber-framed rear external wall exposed within the kitchen, chamfered beams with exposed joists to the ground floor, original stairs with a closed string, turned balusters, and a moulded handrail. The roof is a four-bay collar and tie-beam structure with windbracing.
