Well Cottage

Well Cottage is a row of three cottages, originally a pair, dating from the 16th century and altered over time. The left gable and rear wall display exposed timber framing, while the rest of the structure is encased in brick. Number 40 features chequered brickwork with the date 1753 marked in blue headers on the right gable. Numbers 42 and 44 showcase late 19th-century rat-trap bond brickwork. The cottages have a thatched roof with half-hipped ends and brick stacks at the gables and center.

They are one and a half storeys tall, with first-floor windows set into the thatch. Number 40, located on the right, has two bays of three-light leaded casements with timber lintels, an off-center 20th-century door, and an outshot at the rear. Numbers 42 and 44 have two bays of similar three-light windows with cambered heads on the ground floor, a paired leaded casement window on the upper right, and a 19th-century door within a metal porch to the right. There is a 20th-century flat-roofed extension to the left, which reveals an exposed cruck truss in the original gable above. Another cruck truss is located between the left-hand bays. A sill beam in the rear wall, likely reused, is carved with the date 1639.
