Description

Sachristan Cottage is a cottage that likely has a core dating from the 17th or 18th century and was refurbished around 1870 to 1880. It is built of plastered cob on rubble footings, with stone rubble stacks that are topped with 19th and 20th-century brick, and has a thatched roof. The house faces west and features a layout with two main rooms and a central staircase. The left room, which is the southern room, is subdivided with a small rear lobby. The larger front room is heated by an end stack, while the right room is also heated by an end stack that is in the party wall with the adjoining Monks Cottage.

The cottage is two storeys high, and the symmetry of its two-window front is disrupted by a 19th-century flat-roofed woodshed that projects from the left end. The front doorway is slightly to the right of centre and features mid-19th-century part-glazed and panelled double doors, which are sheltered by a contemporary porch with a zinc roof, fluted timber posts, and a moulded entablature. The doorway is flanked by canted bay windows that have side sashes and no glazing bars. The first-floor casements are topped with thatched gables. The roof is gable-ended to the right and is continuous with the adjoining Monks Cottage on the left.

The rear elevation, which overlooks the churchyard, includes a full-height canted bay for the northern room, featuring a ground-floor sash window with margin panes filled with coloured glass and a first-floor casement with glazing bars. The interior contains much 19th-century joinery, and the southern front room has panelled wainscoting and a rear corner diagonal stack. The roof has not been inspected.
