Description
St Mary's Cottage is a cottage that dates from the medieval period and the 17th century, with some alterations. It is timber framed, featuring white painted plaster and brick infill and casing. The cottage has a thatched roof that is half-hipped at the west end, and it includes a central chimney made of old bricks. The building is two stories high with an attic.
On the south elevation, there is a low gable on the right-hand side, which has a three-light casement window on both the ground and first floors. The left-hand part consists of two bays with a small modern tiled porch and three single-light leaded windows, one of which on the first floor contains old glass. The west gable features a three-light casement window on both the ground and first floors, along with three attic windows arranged in a row. The east elevation has two and three-light casement windows on the ground floor and one three-light eaves dormer in thatch.
Inside the cottage, there is one cruck truss located in the north wall of the bay, along with exposed 17th-century beams in the two western bays.
