Primrose Cottage

Primrose Cottage is a small house that was originally two cottages, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It was modernised around 1970. The building features plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with stone rubble stacks topped with 19th and 20th-century brick, and a thatched roof with a slate-covered rear outshot.

Originally, the structure consisted of a pair of one-room plan cottages facing east and backing onto the churchyard. The right room has a projecting end stack, while the left room has a rear lateral stack. The two cottages have since been combined, and a former woodstore at the back of the left room has been converted for domestic use.

The cottage is two storeys high and has a slightly asymmetrical three-window front with 20th-century casements that include glazing bars. There are two central doorways, likely with 19th-century solid frames, which now contain 20th-century doors. The roof is hipped on the left side and gable-ended on the right.

Inside, the right room features a soffit-chamfered and roll-stopped crossbeam, along with a stone rubble fireplace that has a slightly soffit-chamfered oak lintel. The left room has a slight soffit-chamfer on the crossbeam, and its fireplace includes a soffit-chamfered oak lintel with run-out stops. The roof structure is not visible, but each cottage has a single bay roof on either side of the timber-framed central crosswall. Primrose Cottage is part of a group of attractive listed buildings in the village, located on the east side of the churchyard.
