Description

Lane End Cottage is a mid to late 17th-century cottage located on Dure Lane and East Street. The building is rendered over cob and features a gable-ended thatched roof, with the tops of the stacks rebuilt in red brick. It has a two-room central entrance plan that faces southeast, with a central entrance lobby leading to a staircase at the rear and integral end stacks. There is an outshut at the rear of the left-hand end.

The exterior has a three-bay southeast front, likely featuring 19th-century two-light small-paned wooden casements. The central entrance has a boarded door with a bracketed pent hood. The left-hand gable end includes two-light wooden casements on each floor. The rear has two two-light wooden casements on each floor to the left, with the first-floor casements having two-light glazed gablets above. The right side has an outshut with a small one-light wooden casement.

Inside, the left-hand ground-floor room has a 17th-century chamfered cross beam with scroll stops and a left-hand fireplace adorned with glazed tiles. There is an early 18th-century cupboard in the left-hand wall with two doors below and two smaller doors above, featuring raised and fielded panels. An early 18th-century door leads to the outshut at the rear, with two raised and fielded panels and H-hinges, and the floor is slate-flagged. The right-hand ground-floor room also has a 17th-century chamfered cross beam with scroll stops. The first-floor rooms and roof space were not inspected.
