Description

Cob Cottage is a group of three cottages that were originally one house, dating from the 16th century with alterations in the 17th century, and likely divided in the 19th century. The building features rendered cob walls and a gable-ended thatched roof, with two rendered stacks—one offset from the ridge at the left gable end and one at the right gable end. The current layout includes a one-room plan cottage to the left, while the right-hand cottage has one room at the front and another in a rear wing. It is believed that the original layout may have been a two or three-room plan with a through passage, possibly truncated at one end. There is likely a 17th or 18th-century wing behind the right-hand end that was divided off to form Cob Cottage.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front, where No. 21 is on the left and No. 23 is on the right. The first floor features 20th-century two-light casements in small openings. No. 21 has a 19th-century two-light small-paned casement to the left and a 20th-century part-glazed door to the right. No. 23 has a three-light small-paned 20th-century casement to the right of a 20th-century part-glazed door. The wing extends to the rear, part of which constitutes Cob Cottage. Inside No. 21, there is evidence of an early truss with curved feet on the first floor, although there is no access to it in the roof space.
