Daisy Cottage

Daisy Cottage is a cottage dating from the early to mid 18th century, located on Beaford Bond Street in Beaford. The building is rendered, likely over cob, and features a gable-ended thatched roof with red-brick end stacks. The plan consists of a two-room layout with a central entrance. The larger principal room is on the left, which has an end stack and a front entrance on its right side, while the smaller room on the right has an external end stack. There is a central dog-leg staircase located in a continuous outshut at the rear. The cottage is two storeys tall, with an additional one-storey outshut.

The exterior displays symmetrical fenestration, with three early 20th-century three-light leaded wooden casements on the first floor and two small-paned wooden casements from the late 19th or early 20th century on the ground floor. A central gabled wooden porch, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, is also present.

Inside, the cottage retains many 18th-century fixtures and fittings. The left-hand ground-floor room features plain joists and an open stone fireplace with a wooden lintel to the left. There are a pair of arched recesses in the rear wall and a window seat at the front. In the right-hand rear corner of the room, there are two old boarded doors with decorative wrought-iron strap hinges. A door in the right-hand wall leading to the right-hand room has four raised and fielded upper panels and two beaded flush lower panels. The dog-leg staircase rises from the right-hand end of the rear wall, opposite the front door, and includes stick balusters and a plank and muntin door at the foot, also with decorative wrought-iron strap hinges. The rest of the interior has not been inspected.
