Description

Laburnam Cottage, formerly known as Snygge's Rood, is a house that likely dates from the 16th or 17th century and was altered in the 20th century. It features brick-nogged timber framing and a thatched roof, with a small rendered extension on the right that has a tiled roof. The cottage is three bays wide and has one and a half storeys, with a depth of one room.

On the road side, there is an external brick chimney on the right return with tiled offsets. The corner leanto extension is rendered, and to the left, there is three-panel high framing with fairly heavy timbers for one bay, which includes a 4-pane window in a bricked-up doorway. The left framing is two panels high and has a brace from the main post to the wallplate. There are 20th-century two-light casements, with one possibly replacing a doorway and another above what may have been a large infilled window, located in a swept dormer. A brace connects the corner post to the wallplate, and there is a gable chimney on the ridge to the left. The interior has not been inspected. There is also a single-storey flat-roofed extension on the left that is not of special interest. The cottage forms a group with the nearby Copelands and Chartist cottages.
