Buckland Cottage

Buckland Cottage is a cottage dating from around the mid-17th century, with alterations and an enlargement in the late 20th century. The exterior is rendered over a cob and stone rubble construction, topped with a gable-ended Welsh slate roof (formerly thatched). A stack at the right-hand end was rebuilt in the late 20th century using red brick.

The original plan comprised two rooms: a larger room to the right with an integral end stack, and a smaller, unheated room to the left with a front entrance and a 20th-century staircase. A late 20th-century addition was made to the left. The ground slopes to the left. The front of the cottage is asymmetrical, with three windows. Most windows are late 20th-century two-light wooden casements, except for a 20th-century one-light wooden casement on the ground floor to the left. A roughly central doorway leads into the right-hand room of the 17th-century section, and has a late 20th-century boarded door.

Inside, the right-hand ground-floor room features a pair of 17th-century chamfered cross beams with run-out stops, and a 17th-century stone fireplace to the right, with splayed jambs, a flat arch with dressed voussoirs, and a bread oven with a cast-iron door. The roof contains 17th-century trusses with straight principals and pegged collars.
