Description

Fishers Cottage is a pair of adjoining cottages from the 18th century, constructed with plastered cob on rubble footings and featuring cob or rubble stacks, one of which is topped with 20th-century brick. The cottages have a thatched roof and face south, each with two rooms and end stacks. They are two storeys high with a regular four-window front. The right cottage has a door at the right end, while the left cottage has a central door. Most windows are late 19th and 20th-century casements, including two 2-light windows with a late 19th-century pattern of glazing bars located on the ground floor left end and first floor right of centre. There is a single 18th-century 3-light window at the left end on the first floor, featuring slender mullions and small rectangular panes of leaded glass, with the outer fixed lights having 18 panes and the central opening casement having 10 panes. The stacks project from each end, with the left (west) stack being disused and lacking a chimney shaft. The roof is hipped at both ends. Originally, the cottages are thought to have had paired central doors. Inside, there is plain carpentry detail, including plain chamfered beams, crossbeams in the outer rooms, and axial beams in the middle rooms.
