Logan Cottage

Logan Cottage is a cottage dating from around the early 16th century, with floors inserted around the early 17th century and an extension built in the 18th or early 19th century. The construction is of rubble and cob, with most of the first floor plastered and whitewashed, and a straw-thatched roof. The roof is gabled on the left and hipped on the right, featuring an exposed axial stack to the right return, with offsets and a brick shaft. A lateral rubble stack is also exposed at the rear, with a brick shaft.

The cottage originally had a three-room plan; the right-hand end room is a two-story addition from the 18th or early 19th century. The left and central rooms represent the remains of what may have been a late medieval open hall, potentially a church house, given its location backing onto the churchyard. The right-hand room has a large gable-end fireplace and may have been the original lower room. A staircase was likely inserted into the passage, and the left-hand room may have been the hall, with a rear lateral stack. The house likely extended further to the left, and any inner room has been demolished. Originally, both rooms were open to the roof and heated by an open hearth fire. The medieval roof only survives over the right-hand room. The right-hand room has a floor and gable-end stack inserted in around the early 17th century. The left-hand room was probably floored later, with a lateral stack added to the back, possibly at the time the roof was reroofed, around the 18th century.

The exterior has two stories and two windows, with 2-light, 4-pane casements from the 19th century. There is a door opening with a divided plank door, and a 19th-century brick thatched porch. A single-story thatched service room sits to the right, along with a further 19th-century casement. A flat-roofed 20th-century addition extends from the rear.

Inside, the right-hand ground floor room has a fireplace with a raised, chamfered timber lintel, chamfered cross beams with straight-cut stops, square section joists, and a straight-flight staircase with a reused 17th-century dog-gate at its base, featuring splat balusters. The left-hand ground floor room is featureless with a blocked fireplace. The roof retains only two trusses. The truss over the right side of the passageway has a mortised collar, a threaded diagonal ridge-piece and threaded purlins; it is smoke-blackened on both sides. The roof over the right-hand room of the original house is also smoke-blackened, including rafters and battens. The 18th century roof over the left-hand room has a crossed lap-jointed apex.
