Description
Bradfords Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century, with extensions added in the late 17th century, 18th century, or 19th century. It features brick-nogged timber-framing on a low stone plinth, with a random rubble stone extension and Sussex bond brickwork at the back of the right-hand end. The roof is thatched. The building consists of six bays and is one room deep, set on a slight curve. It is a single storey, but has a second storey in the roof over two bays.
The garden front includes a stone extension on the left with a pointed end, featuring a four-light ovolo-moulded casement window. There is a wall that projects forward of the next bay, which has a boarded door on its return. A two-light small pane casement window has been lowered, with a 1970s window inserted above it. To the right, there is a similar two-light casement window and a glazed door under a lean-to glass roof added around 1980. A blocked doorway and a two-light casement window with an iron opening light are also present. Beyond a slight angle in the wall is a four-pane window, double boarded doors, and a wooden window. A large gable is situated over the front door, which has a two-light casement window with weatherboarding above. The roof is hipped on the left side, and a brick chimney is present. The ridge is lower on the right over two bays, with a gable at the end.
Internally, the left extension surrounds a large stone chimney base with a semi-circular projection for an oven. The fireplace retains its stone jambs, timber lintel, and mantel shelf. Originally, the house was a two-bay structure with an upper floor, which was extended by one bay on the right and further extended by a two-bay section on the right for farm purposes, now used as a garage. There is also a single bay extension on the left. The front door and the adjoining window were reversed in position during the 1970s.
