Description

Withyrows Cottage is a small detached house dating from the 17th century. It features a timber-frame structure built on a limestone plinth, with rendered and painted brick infill panels, a brick chimney, and a thatched roof. The cottage is single-storey with an attic and includes a chimney with a single-storey outshut at the southwest end. The layout consists of two rooms with a cross passage.

The front elevation has small framing and scattered windows, with two principal bays. There is straight bracing between the posts and the wall-plate, and the mid-height rail is positioned to frame three timber casements on the ground floor, along with a blocked doorway that is off-centre. A single thatched dormer is present, and the lower panels are painted brick with rendered panels above. The thatch features scalloped decoration at the ridge.

The hipped end has small framing and two timber casements. The northeast gable end has a single-window fenestration, with 20th-century work in rendered brick on the ground floor and small framing above, braced similarly to the front. There is also a small attic casement. The interior has not been inspected, and a 20th-century addition at the back is not considered of special interest.
