Description
Brodenhill Cottage is a Grade II listed cottage, likely dating from the late 17th century. It was probably divided into two cottages in the 19th century but has since reverted to a single residence. The building features roughcast rendered stone rubble and cob, topped with a bitumenized slate roof with gable ends. There is a rendered stack with a tapered cap at the left gable end and a lateral rendered stack with a tapered cap at the rear right-hand end.
The interior layout is not fully recoverable due to restricted access, but it may consist of a remodelled small three-room and cross passage plan. The hall is likely heated by the rear lateral stack, while the inner room is heated by the gable end stack to the left of the passage. During the 19th century alterations, a direct entry was made into the inner room, a two-storey service wing was added to the rear left end, and a two-storey lean-to was constructed at the lower end, which includes a lofted outshut at the rear.
The cottage is two storeys high. The left side attempts symmetry with two two-light casements, each with two panes per light, on both floors, flanking a porch with a concrete tiled gabled roof. The porch features a 19th-century plank door. The right side has a plank door with a two-light casement above it, which has three panes per light, located in the upper storey of the lean-to. Additionally, there is a plank door flanked by four-paned windows at the right end of the lean-to, and a loft door above the plank door at the lower end of the rear outshut. The interior remains inaccessible.
