Sexton's Cottage Tumbleweed

Sexton's Cottage and Tumbleweed are two adjoining cottages, likely built in the 18th century, with Sexton's Cottage on the left possibly being slightly older than Tumbleweed. The cottages are constructed from colourwashed, rendered stone rubble and feature a thatched roof with a plain ridge, hipped at the ends. There is an axial stack at the junction between the cottages and a rear lateral stack for Sexton's Cottage.

Sexton's Cottage has a single-depth plan, currently consisting of one room but likely originally divided into a heated room on the left and an unheated service room on the right. Tumbleweed is probably two rooms wide, although its interior was not inspected during the survey in 1988.

The exterior of the cottages is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-over-two window arrangement. Sexton's Cottage has a central 20th-century porch and two-light 20th-century timber casements with glazing bars. Tumbleweed features a 20th-century lean-to porch on the right and similar two-light 20th-century timber casements with glazing bars. Inside, Sexton's Cottage has a large open fireplace at the lateral stack, which once included a bread oven. The fireplace features a chamfered lintel and one chamfered jamb. The roof's apex was not inspected, but visible timbers upstairs suggest that the trusses are pegged A-frames.
