The Old Forge

The Old Forge is a cottage that was once part of a pair and served as the village forge. It likely has origins from the 16th century but mainly features from the 18th or 19th century. The building is constructed of rendered cob or rubble with a thatched roof, and there is a one-storey extension to the left, which is the forge, covered with a slate roof.

The main building has a gabled wing that is brought forward at the right end and was formerly a two-storey porch. It is two storeys high with two windows on the ground floor and one on the first floor, primarily featuring 2-light glazing-bar casements, although there is a 3-light window on the first floor to the left. A larger 2-light casement is centered on the main block and is sheltered by a thatched hood, with a former doorway flanked by a part-height raking buttress. The upper windows have eyebrow detailing.

The porch wing contains a small 2-light window above a larger casement, which was once a door; the current door is now located on the left side of the porch. There is a large stack to the right, mainly associated with The Farriers. To the left, the former forge is a single-storey unit with two windows, featuring cross-mullioned 19th-century windows and a high brick stack. The interior has not been inspected.
