Description
Smallbrook Cottage is a pair of semi-detached cottages that have been combined into one dwelling. They date from the late 17th century and feature square-panelled timber-framing with brick nogging and a half-hipped thatched roof, along with an axial brick stack. The building consists of four bays, with two heated, and has a gable end facing the road. It is a single storey with an attic and has four windows.
The right side has a 20th-century door and porch, while the left side has four 2-light casements. The first floor features two 2-light casements, two eyebrow dormers, and one small casement with wood mullions and latticed leading. The left return is partly refaced in Flemish bond brick and has one 2-light casement in the attic, along with an attached 20th-century conservatory. The first floor on this side is hung with oak shingles. The right return is weatherboarded with an outshut.
At the rear, there are four 2-light casements and one 3-light casement, while the attic includes two 3-light casements and two fixed windows. Inside, the cottage has open fireplaces with chamfered lintels on brick jambs, one of which is blocked. There are also chamfered beams with run-out and bar stops, with the southern end supported by a jowled post featuring simple moulding. The interior includes two winding staircases, the second of which was added when the building was divided into two cottages in the 19th century. Timber-framed partitions are present on the first floor. The north bay is a late 17th-century addition that incorporates a reused base cruck truss with a truncated top, possibly intended for a hipped roof.
