(Spinnaker Cottage and Mary's Cottage Nos 14 and 16)

This property comprises two cottages, Spinnaker Cottage and Mary’s Cottage (Nos 14 and 16), originally a farmhouse and associated outbuilding. The core of the building likely dates to the mid-to-late 17th century, with the outbuilding converted into a cottage before 1820. A further addition, probably in the 18th or 19th century, was once a separate cottage, and now forms the left-hand section.

The construction is of rendered stone and cob, with Spinnaker Cottage whitewashed and Mary’s Cottage colourwashed. The roof is thatched with a plain ridge and a hipped section at the left end; it has two axial brick chimney stacks projecting from the roof, with a stone stack at the right end also featuring a brick shaft.

The original layout consisted of a two-room-depth farmhouse (Spinnaker Cottage) with a larger, heated room to the right and a smaller room to the left (possibly unheated until the 18th century), with a 17th-century staircase originally accessed from a doorway into the larger room. A single-room plan addition, seemingly from the 18th or 19th century and formerly a separate cottage, extends the building to the left. Mary’s Cottage, at the right end, was probably a farm building, converted into a two-room cottage before 1820.

The exterior presents an asymmetrical three-window front, with the roof of Mary's Cottage slightly lower. The original central section displays an almost symmetrical two-window facade, with a thatched porch to the left of centre; a separate doorway provides access to the former cottage on the left. There are 20th-century 2- and 3-light casement windows with diamond-leaded panes. Mary’s Cottage has a 20th-century gabled porch and iron-frame casements.

Inside Spinnaker Cottage, 17th-century features survive, including a partly blocked fireplace with a 17th-century timber lintel, chamfered step-stopped crossbeams, exposed joists, and an unusual straight staircase constructed from solid timber baulks. The central room contains a likely 18th-century fireplace with a steeply-cambered lintel. Mary’s Cottage showcases two large, roughly-chamfered crossbeams and later exposed joists. The roof structure in Spinnaker Cottage has straight principal rafters, indicating a late 17th- or early 18th-century origin. It represents the only surviving thatched building in the village.
