Cherry Trees

Cherry Trees is a cottage with medieval origins, altered in the 17th century and extensively modified in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from red sandstone random rubble and features a double Roman tile roof with overhanging eaves that have sprockets. The chimney has been rebuilt, and the wall has been extended to the left on the same plane. The building has a plan of two cells and a cross passage, standing two storeys high with three bays. The facade mainly consists of 19th-century leaded casements, with a weatherboarded gable at the center right of the stack. To the left of the pointed arch chamfered doorway, which has a wooden lintel and a 19th-century plank door, there is a long two-light casement, and a 20th-century window has been inserted to the right. Although the interior has not been seen, it is said to contain plank and muntin screens in the cross passage, one of which features a low partition in the open hall house. The interior also includes two pairs of jointed cruck trusses and stop-chamfered beams with run-out stops. The facade was mostly obscured by vegetation at the time of the survey in August 1984.
