Broad Oak Cottage

Broad Oak Cottage is a cottage dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of cob with a stone plinth and is rendered beneath a hipped thatched roof, featuring a continuous outshut to the rear under a catslide roof. The cottage has one rear lateral stack and one axial stack, both with rustic brick timber shafts. It stands two storeys high and has a slightly asymmetrical front with a three-window range. The porch has a tiled roof with split timber sides, and there are one two-light and one three-light casement window on the ground floor, with two-light windows above under boarded eyebrow eaves. All the windows are 19th-century timber with six panes per light. Inside, there is a lobby entrance; the left-hand room has an axial chamfered beam with run-out stops, while the right-hand room features a shallow chamfered beam. The roof appears early but is clean, with principals that are morticed and side-pegged.
