Description
Bow Lane Cottage is a detached house dating from the 15th century, with an early 16th-century addition and 19th-century alterations. It features a timber frame, some brick refacing, a brick chimney, and a thatched roof. The building is single-storey with an attic and consists of three bays.
On the east side, there is large framing with a prominent curved brace at the right end, scattered framed-up casements, an off-centre plank door to the left, and a small-paned glazed 20th-century door to the right. It has three thatched dormers with small-paned casements and scalloped ridge decoration on the thatch. The north end is half-hipped and was formerly jettied, with brick infill below the jetty bressumer, featuring two casements and an off-centre 20th-century glazed door, all with timber lintels. Above, there is large framing with a small-panel attic casement and straight bracing.
The west side also has large framing with a large curved brace at the left end, scattered framed-up casements, and two thatched dormers with small-paned casements. There is a 19th-century brick single-storey service room at the right end with a single casement. The south end features a projecting gabled end of the single-storey service room with a pantile roof, a roughcast gable end with a ridge-mounted brick chimney, and a single 20th-century attic casement.
Inside, the cottage contains two intermediate cruck-framed bays and much surviving wattle and daub, along with a brick arched bread oven in the south gable end.
