Church Cottages

Church Cottages, now divided into two dwellings, date from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with additions from the 17th and 18th centuries. The building features an exposed timber frame with colourwashed brick infill, set on a plinth of brick and flint, and has a thatched roof with brick stacks. It is two stories high and has three bays, including a narrow smoke or passage bay to the right of the hall bay. A 17th-century bay was added to the right, and an 18th-century brick bay was added to the left.

The narrow bay has a planked door with a 19th-century tiled gabled porch made of oversized Beauworth bricks. A similar porch and door are found at the inner end of the left timber-frame bay, with brick steps leading up to it. The ground floor features 18th-century leaded casement windows with two, three, and four lights, along with a blocked doorway in the 18th-century bay. On the first floor, there are six two-light casements, with a bracket for an oriel window over the hall bay, a blocked two-light mullion window in the inner right bay, and a Winchester Fire Insurance Plaque. The roof is hipped with wide eaves and has a corrugated iron outshot at the rear. There is a large stack above the narrow bay and a small stack at the left end of the 17th-century building. Inside, the exposed frame is mostly intact, featuring beams in the hall and parlour to the left, with ovolo mouldings flanked by cavetto mouldings, and a cellar in the parlour.
