Cottage Adjoining Tudor Cottage Tudor Cottage

This is a pair of semi-detached cottages located on Main Street in Whittington. The right cottage, known as Tudor Cottage, is dated 1757, as indicated by a sundial and datestone below the left-hand dormer. The adjoining cottage and a new access to Tudor Cottage were added in the late 18th century and extended in the mid to late 19th century.

Tudor Cottage features coursed squared and dressed limestone, while the adjoining cottage is built from limestone rubble. Both cottages have stone slate roofs. Tudor Cottage has a rectangular plan with successive extensions at the left gable end. There is a 20th-century part-glazed lean-to porch at the left gable end, which is not considered of special interest.

Tudor Cottage is 1½ storeys high and has two Cotswold dormers, each lit by a 2-light and a 3-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casement, both with stopped hoods. The sundial and datestone below the left-hand dormer features an ogee curved top with quatrefoil decoration and a dropped pendant below. The ground floor has three-light stone-mullioned casements.

To the left, there is a two-storey late 18th-century two-bay extension that incorporates a 19th-century plank door with fillets, set within a basket-headed surround topped with a projecting stone canopy. This door provides access to Tudor Cottage, which was previously entered via the gable end. To the left of the door is a double-chamfered 2-light stone-mullioned casement, with a 19th-century two-light stone-mullioned casement above it on the first floor.

There is also a 19th-century 1½ storey single bay extension to the left, which projects slightly from the facade of Tudor Cottage and features a two-light stone-mullioned casement in its forward-facing wall. Access to this extension is via a plank door within the part-glazed 20th-century porch. The main body of Tudor Cottage has an axial stack, while the successive extensions have a gable end stack. The interior has not been inspected.
