Description

No. 1 Cole's Lane is a small house dating from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th century and further extensions and modernizations in the 20th century. The building features rendered rubble walls topped by a half-hipped thatched roof. It has two gable end rendered rubble stacks, with the left-hand stack projecting and the right-hand stack rising from the eaves at the front of the gable; both stacks have brick shafts.

The house has a two-room plan with a wide central passage that includes an inserted staircase. Both rooms are heated by the gable end stack, although the right-hand stack may not be original. There is a 20th-century extension at the right-hand end. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has a regular three-window front. The right-hand end features a single-storey flat-roofed 20th-century extension. On the ground floor, to the left and on the right, there are mid-20th-century metal frame casements without glazing bars. On the first floor, to the right of centre and further right, are two-light late 20th-century casements with glazing bars. There is also a single light 19th-century casement with glazing bars on the ground floor, right of centre. A late 20th-century gabled porch is located at the centre, featuring a two-light casement on the front wall and a part-glazed door on the right-hand side.

Inside, the left-hand room has an open fireplace with a new wood lintel that has been inserted beneath the original one. The room features insubstantial, frequently spaced cross beams that are chamfered with hollow step stops, which likely also exist in the right-hand room but are currently concealed. On the first floor, there is one surviving 18th-century two-fielded panel door. The roof has fairly rough 18th and 19th-century straight principals with lapped and pegged collars.
