Box Tree Cottage

Box Tree Cottage is a house in a row, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. It features rendered cob walls and a wheat reed thatched roof, with a brick chimney at the gable end of Wayside on the left, sweeping down to join the roof of September Cottage on the right. The cottage has a two-room through passage plan and is two storeys high, with the first floor partly in the roof space.

The north-east front has two windows. There is a doorway with a 20th-century door and thatched hood, located off centre to the right. To the left of the door is a 19th-century, two-light casement window with eight panes, and to the right is a 20th-century, two-light casement window. The first-floor windows are dormered above the eaves level, featuring a two-light casement with four panes on the left and an 18th or 19th-century two-light casement with six panes on the right, positioned midway between the door and the ground floor window.

Inside, the cottage has three pairs of oak face-pegged crucks with lapped dovetail jointed collars, although these are concealed by the first-floor ceilings. There is a large open fireplace in the left room, which serves as the hall, with a winder stair located to the right of the fireplace and an arch-headed built-in cupboard between. Each room has a chamfered and stopped cross beam, and the lower room is unheated.
