Haydon Cottage And Attached Outbuilding

Haydon Cottage and the attached outbuilding are a house and adjoining structure, likely built in the mid-17th century, with significant alterations made in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of colourwashed rendered cob and stone rubble, topped with a thatched roof that has a plain ridge and is hipped at the ends, featuring a rear right lateral stack. The layout consists of three ranges surrounding a central courtyard. The house faces southeast and has been extended into a converted linhay that is positioned at a right angle to the front of the house. The former outbuilding, now used as a store, faces the house across the courtyard. The house is single-depth and, while extensively altered internally, retains its original roof structure from the 17th century.

The exterior of the building is two storeys high, while the former farm buildings are single-storey. The front is asymmetrical with three windows. There is a 20th-century aluminium, glazed front door located to the left of centre. The windows are small-pane casements, with the first-floor windows likely featuring 18th-century embrasures, and the ground-floor window probably dating from the 20th century. The former linhay has been glazed in, and the outbuilding opposite the house is partly open-fronted, with three open bays to the right.

Internally, the property has been modernized with 20th-century carpentry on the ground floor but retains a staircase that is probably from the 18th century, located adjacent to the front wall. The roof structure consists of two side-pegged jointed crucks made from both elm and oak.
