The Three Cottages

This is a house dating to around 1600. It is timber-framed, with some colourwashed brick and plastered infill. The lower part of the east gable is of rubblestone, whilst a rubblestone plinth is rendered and colourwashed. The roofs are of old tile. The main structure comprises three bays and two storeys, with a lower colourwashed and rendered gable extension to the west, and a lean-to along the west side, both of two storeys. A modern door is located on the south front, and most windows are modern, leaded casements, mainly of two lights, but some are of three. The north elevation features a board door in the centre bay and a staircase window between the east bays. A large rubblestone stack, featuring two diagonally set brick flues, is located in the west bay on the north elevation. A rebuilt 17th-century stack is situated between the right-hand bays on the south roof slope. Inside, the lateral stack has a fireplace with chamfered and cambered lintels and stone jambs. The stack between the right-hand bays contains a ground floor inglenook with chamfered lintel and jambs. A heavy, chamfered and stopped doorframe is present between the left-hand bays.
