Thornton'S, Porch Cottage And Greenaway

Thornton's, Porch Cottage, and Greenaway is a row of three cottages, likely originally built as one house, dating from the early to mid 17th century. They were subdivided, probably in the 19th century and again in the later 20th century. The cottages feature plastered rubble and cob walls with a gable-ended thatch roof. There are three rubble stacks with dripcourses, one axial and one at each gable end. Currently, the cottages are arranged as three one-room plan units with rear outshuts, but they were likely constructed as a three-room-and-through-passage plan house, with the lower end to the left and a hall heated by a stack backing onto the passage, which has a shallow window bay at the front. The hall was divided into two cottages at the higher end in the 19th century, and the hall and lower end have been recently subdivided. The 19th-century rear outshuts were added.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical one: one: one window front. Thornton's, on the left, features small-paned early 20th-century two-light casements and a 20th-century stable-type door to the right. Porch Cottage in the centre has late 20th-century two-light casements without glazing bars. The shallow hall bay at its right-hand end has been converted into a porch with a stable-type door and a small original squint window in its left-hand wall. Greenaway, to the right, has a 20th-century two-light casement without glazing bars on the first floor and a small-paned one below, along with a 20th-century part-glazed door to the left.

The interior of Porch Cottage is the only one accessible and does not show any early features, while the other cottages may retain more original characteristics inside. Overall, these cottages maintain a very traditional appearance on the outside.
