Description
Mushroom Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage located on the south side of Hamptworth Road in Redlynch. It was built for the Newhouse Estate and features Flemish bond brick construction with cob and a hipped thatched roof, along with brick stacks. The cottage has a cross plan with two arms that are outshuts and two that are two-storey, each with one window.
The entrance is a planked door located in the two-storey wing, which is accompanied by a 2-light pointed casement window with diamond leading to the right. The left side of the cottage has pointed 2-light casements with diamond leading on both the ground and first floors. The rear outshut also features the same pointed casements on the ground floor. The right side has 20th-century casements in the two-storey arm.
The hipped thatched roof has deep eaves that create a verandah and includes a pair of diagonally-set axial brick stacks. Inside, there is a reset 17th-century deeply chamfered beam and winding stairs located in the rear outshut.
