Description
30 Lower Street and Manor Cottage is a former farmhouse, now divided into two houses, dated 1663 and modified in the 19th century. The building features stone cut and squared construction with ashlar dressings, a thatched roof between coped gables, and brick chimney stacks. It has two storeys and four bays.
The windows include volo-mould mullioned designs, with bay 2 featuring a two-storey angled bay with a gable above, set on shaped kneelers. Ground floor bays 3 and 4 contain a four-light window in a chamfered recess with a separate label, while a former three-light window has been adapted for a 20th-century door and sidelight, accessed by three steps. The first floor bays 3 and 4 have three-light horizontal-bar casements, and the walling appears to have been raised.
In lower bay 3, there is a plain chamfered recess with a lintel inscribed 'IKT/1663' in an incised rectangle, leading to a 19th-century door up three steps. There are signs of a blocked window east of bay 4. The east gable features a three-light mullioned window in a wave-mould recess under a label on the first floor, while the west gable has a two-light window under a hoodmould at a lower level. The rear elevation includes 19th-century casement windows and two extensions, one with a thatched roof and the other with concrete double pantiles. The interior has not been seen, but the plan is said to be of a cross-passage with a parlour to one side and a dairy entered through the hall, which includes the bay window.
