Home Cottage

Home Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century, with an extension added in the late 20th century. The original structure features rendered walls, likely made of cob, and a hipped thatched roof. There is a rendered brick axial stack, which was formerly a left-hand gable stack. The original layout consisted of two rooms, one of which was heated, with a central entrance that may have served as a passage. The late 20th-century extension adds one room to the left end of the cottage.

The building is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with five windows. The original cottage section on the right has a symmetrical arrangement of three windows and a central door. All windows are 20th-century three-light casements with glazing bars. A gabled thatched porch from the late 20th century features a part-glazed stable door. There is also a late 19th or early 20th-century outshut against the right end of the house.

Inside, the two original rooms contain rough but substantial cross beams, with a narrow chamfer on the beam in the left-hand room. The fireplace in that room has a roughly chamfered wooden lintel. The roof space has not been inspected, but the feet of insubstantial straight principals are visible on the first floor.
