The Cottage

The Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century. It features a cruck-framed structure made of squared coursed limestone with a thatched roof. Originally designed with a two-unit plan, it is a single storey building with an attic. The front has a two-window range of 19th-century casement windows set under wooden lintels, and there is a central 20th-century door also beneath a wooden lintel. A brick stack is located at one end, while the right gable includes a part-leaded casement window for the attic. At the rear, there is a leaded casement window and an early 20th-century single-storey extension. Inside, the room to the left of the entrance retains the remains of an open fireplace with a bressumer, along with spine beams and cruck roof construction.
