Candle Cottage

Candle Cottage is a cottage that is part of a continuous row with No. 6, originally built in the 15th century and altered in the 17th century. It is timber framed with colourwashed brick infill and a ground storey. The cottage features an old tiled roof with a brick chimney at the right end and another shared chimney at the left end with No. 10. There are two gabled eaves dormers. The building is 1.5 storeys high and has a three-light leaded casement window to the left of the ground floor. To the right, there is a projecting bay with a tiled pentice roof and a five-light leaded casement window that returns on the left flank, along with a 20th-century half-glazed door to the right. The party wall with No. 6 is exposed in the through-passage and shows the rubble clunch base of the chimney stack. At the rear, there is a gabled wing. Inside, there are two exposed cruck trusses similar to those at No. 6, featuring attached principal rafters on spurs and original purlins, along with one curved windbrace.
