Description
Bewsley Cottage is a house that was formerly two cottages, dating from the 17th century and modernised and remodelled in the 20th century. It features a mix of plastered cob and exposed rubble, with rubble stacks topped with 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. The building has been significantly altered and faces south. There is a front lateral stack on the right cottage and an axial stack on the left. The front has five windows, which are 20th-century casements with glazing bars. A roughly central door is accompanied by a 20th-century glass-sided porch with a gabled thatched roof. On the first floor, there are two windows in the central section made of exposed stone, each with eyebrows above. To the right, a lateral stack projects from the wall, and there is a large oven projection with a thatched roof. A window immediately to the right blocks what was formerly a door to the right cottage. The plastered section at the left end is a 20th-century addition. The interior has been much altered, but some early plain carpentry remains, including an early 17th-century beam in the entrance hall room, which is chamfered with step stops.
