Apple Tree Cottage

Apple Tree Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is constructed of roughcast rendered stone and cob, topped with a tiled roof featuring gable ends. At the rear, there is a tall rendered shaft for the lateral hall stack, and a brick stack at the left end. The house has a 3-room through-passage plan and is two storeys high with a two-window range. The right side features a four-paned sash window and another sash window with margin glazing bars to the right of a four-panelled door with an overlight. The remaining windows are of 20th-century design. There is an outshut at the rear with a slate roof. Inside, there is a scroll-stopped beam in the hall and a fine plank and muntin screen at the upper end, which is eight sections wide and includes a shoulder-headed doorway with an old plank door. Although there is no access to the roofspace, a single pair of raised cruck blades curve into the chamber above the hall. The jettying at the upper end of the hall indicates partial flooring at that end, with a stud partition rising to full height at the lower end of the hall.
