Box Tree Cottage

Box Tree Cottage is a Grade II listed building that consists of two cottages, which have been combined into one. It dates from the mid to late 19th century and is constructed from plastered cob and rubble, with exposed brick on the rubble and brick dressings on the front. The building features rubble stacks topped with 19th-century brick and has a thatched roof.

The cottage has a three-room layout facing southwest, with an earlier two-room plan cottage to the right (southeast) that includes a rear lateral stack on the right and an end stack (now axial) on the left. It is two storeys high and has a balanced five-window front, with a visible straight butt join between the two cottages.

The right cottage, built of brick on rubble footings, has a door located to the right of centre, which is sheltered by a late 19th-century gabled and pantiled porch featuring crested ridge tiles, trellis sides, and a front arch. The left cottage, made of rubble with brick dressings, has a late 19th to early 20th-century brick-walled porch with a gabled slate roof.

On the ground floor, the windows on the right are 16-pane sashes with brick segmental arches, although the right end sash has been replaced in the 20th century. The left end window is a two-light casement with glazing bars. All first-floor windows are two-light casements with glazing bars and feature thatch eyebrows above them. The roof is hipped at each end, and the rear wall is blind. The carpentry details are plain.
