Bidlake Cottage

Bidlake Cottage is a 17th-century cottage located in Germansweek. It features rendered cob and rubble walls and has a thatched roof that is half hipped on the left side and gabled on the right. The cottage has a projecting rendered rubble stack at the right gable end with a brick shaft. The layout consists of a two-room plan with a central entrance; the larger heated room is on the right, while the unheated service room is on the left. The building is two storeys high and has a regular one-window front. There are two windows on the ground floor, which are early 20th-century casements with glazing bars, arranged as two-light except for the right-hand window, which is three-light. A central lean-to open fronted porch is accessed by steps and features a 19th-century plank door behind it. The interior was inaccessible during the survey but may include original features such as beams, fireplaces, and roof timbers.
