Hodges Cottage

Hodges Cottage is a house that has been divided, dating from the 17th century, with possible earlier origins. It has undergone late 19th or 20th-century alterations. The exterior is rendered, likely over stone rubble and cob, and features a gable-ended roof covered with Welsh slate, which was formerly thatched. A dressed-stone axial stack from the 17th century includes weatherings and a string course, while the right-hand stack has a late 19th-century brick top.

The layout of the house is probably a three-room and through passage plan, facing south, with the ground falling to the right. It likely consists of a hall with an axial stack to the right (backing onto the through passage), a through passage, and a probable former service end to the right with an integral end stack, along with a probable former inner room to the left. The house was likely divided in the 19th century, creating a separate dwelling to the right of the through passage, with internal partitions and a doorway added to the front wall.

The exterior features an asymmetrical four-window front, primarily with late 19th or early 20th-century two-light wooden casements, small-paned on the ground floor. The roughly central cross-passage entrance includes an early 19th-century five-panelled door, with the lower two panels beaded flush, middle panels recessed, and upper panels glazed. There is also an inserted mid to late 19th-century four-panelled door, with the upper two panels glazed, positioned between the first and second windows from the right. The front is supported by three battered buttresses.

The interior was not inspected, but there is a noted doorway between the through passage and the former hall (the central ground-floor room) that features a late 18th-century door with six raised and fielded panels. The plan suggests that the house may have late medieval origins, although this could not be confirmed during the survey in September 1987 due to the lack of an interior inspection.
