Higher Hill Cottage

Higher Hill Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, with extensions made in 1941 and again around 1980. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, featuring a cob stack topped with 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. The building materials used in the later extensions are not specified. Originally, it was a two-room cottage facing southeast, consisting of an unheated entrance hall and a larger room heated by an axial stack that backs onto the entrance hall.

The cottage has been extended to the right (northeast) in 1941 and to the rear around 1980. It is two storeys high with an irregular four-window front, which includes 20th-century casements. The original two-window cottage is located on the left, with a door to the right (now roughly central) behind a 20th-century monopitch thatch-roofed porch. To the right, the eaves level rises, and the thatch lifts over two first-floor windows. The roof is hipped at both ends. The interior of the cottage remains largely original, featuring a beam and an oak fireplace lintel, both of which are chamfered with run-out stops.
