Description
Wakleys Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the late 18th century to the early 19th century and was modernised in the mid-20th century. It is constructed from white-washed local stone and flint rubble, with stone rubble stacks topped with 19th and 20th-century brick, and features a thatched roof. The cottage has a two-room plan that faces north-west, with a central entrance lobby and staircase. Each room has an end stack, but only the left stack, serving the larger room, is original; the right stack is a 20th-century addition. The building is two storeys high.
The exterior has irregular front fenestration, with two ground floor windows and one first floor window, all of which are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. The front doorway is roughly central and features a 20th-century part-glazed door behind a contemporary gabled porch. The main roof is half-hipped on the right side and gable-ended on the left. The interior was not available for inspection during the survey, but some plain carpentry details were observed in the ground floor rooms, including the fireplace in the left room, which is made of plastered stone rubble with a chamfered oak lintel and includes an oven.
