Elm Beams And Manor Cottage

These two cottages, forming a single building, are believed to be part of the former Eastington Manor House, which was demolished in 1778. They likely date from the early 17th century. The cottages are constructed of rubble stone with a chamfered plinth, flush quoins, and a stone slate roof with overhanging verges. A large stone ridge stack with an offset and moulded cornice serves twin flues.

The cottages are arranged as one range of two storeys and an attic. A 19th-century brick extension to the right forms a separate cottage and is not considered to be of special interest. The left cottage is known as Elm Beams, and the right as Manor Cottage. Both cottages have three-light stone mullion windows with leaded casements and square hoodmoulds, along with Tudor arched doorways with chamfered and stopped spine beams with run-out stops, set within quoin surrounds. A likely original studded plank door is present in the Manor Cottage. There is a slightly raised two-light window in the centre of the front, and a two/one/three-light arrangement across the first floor. Exposed beam ends are visible, embedded within the walls at varying heights, particularly in Elm Beams. The rear elevation features similar windows, and two gabled dormers are visible on the eaves of Elm Beams.
