Description
Olde England is a former pair of cottages that have been combined into one building. It dates from the late 16th century to the mid-17th century, with some 20th-century alterations. The structure features square-panelled timber framing with rendered infill, set on a dressed stone plinth. The left gable end is made of coursed squared and dressed limestone. The building has a thatched roof with decorative ridge thatching and a red brick chimney stack. The earlier section has been extended to the right, creating an 'L'-shaped overall plan in the 20th century.
It is a single-storey building with an attic, featuring one ground floor 2-light fixed casement window without glazing bars, and a 20th-century metal casement window with glazing bars on the far right. There are two 2-light eyebrow dormers with 20th-century metal casements with glazing bars on the first floor. The central entrance has a 20th-century panelled door. Notably, the exterior timbers of the early range display carpenter's marks in the form of Roman numerals. Inside, there is an open fireplace with a bressumer beam that has the date 1687 crudely carved into it, along with a segmental-headed opening to a bread oven on the right and a beam with bar stops. The building was formerly known as Fields Cottage.
