View Cottage

View Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 18th century, with a likely addition from the mid to late 19th century. The building is rendered, probably primarily over cob, and features a gable-ended thatched roof with stone stacks. The layout consists of a two-room central-entrance plan, with a kitchen on the left and a parlour on the right, both having end stacks, with the left-hand stack being external. There is a lean-to addition at the rear of the left-hand end, which may be a later addition, and a projecting wing at the rear of the right-hand end from the mid to late 19th century. The cottage is two storeys tall, with a one-storey lean-to.

The exterior has three bays and features 18th-century boxed 12-pane glazing bar sashes, with each leaf consisting of three by two panes. The central entrance has a late 18th-century six-panelled door, where the lower two panels are beaded flush and the upper four panels are recessed, framed with beading. A 20th-century rustic thatched porch is present. The left-hand end stack has offsets and weatherings, while there is a central first-floor glazing bar sash at the rear that lights the top of the stair.

Inside, the cottage retains complete late 18th-century and early 19th-century fixtures and fittings. To the left of the front door are late 18th-century wall cupboards, featuring boarded doors below and panelled doors above. The left-hand ground-floor room, the kitchen, has ceiling beams, a fireplace with a plain surround, and a late 18th-century wall cupboard in the right-hand wall with two panelled doors and butterfly hinges. The right-hand ground-floor room, the parlour, contains a late 18th-century or early 19th-century fireplace surround with reeded pilasters and an 18th-century square recess in the wall to the right. There is also a small 18th-century cupboard in the left-hand wall with H-hinges. A probably late 18th-century dog-leg staircase features a closed string, stick balusters, and square newel posts, with a cupboard located beneath the stairs.
