Description
Lamb Cottage is a detached cottage, likely built in the early 18th century. It features a near-ashlar facade made of Ham stone, with coursed rubble on the sides and rear. The cottage has a thatched roof with a coped west gable and a half-hipped east gable, along with brick chimney stacks.
The building is two storeys high and has three bays. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned types set in chamfered recesses, except for the lower bay 1, which has a wave-mould recess. The upper bay 3 has a three-light window, while the lower bays 1 and 3 have four-light windows, both with individual labels. The mullions in bay 1 have been adapted, and the mullions have been removed from bay 3. The upper bays 1 and 2 contain early pattern casement windows with vertical iron bars on the inside and rectangular leaded lights, with bay 1 having three lights and bay 2 having two lights.
In the lower bay 2, there is a cambered-arched doorway in a rectangular recess with incised spandrels, which has no label. The doorway features a boarded door on a moulded frame, accessed by five steps. There is a raked buttress at the south-east corner, possibly a remnant of a demolished building. The east gable is rendered and has 20th-century metal windows with rectangular leaded lights, and there is an outshut at the rear.
To the west gable, there is a long office building that may be in separate ownership and is not of special interest. The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to have had a two-room cross passage plan, with two ceiling beams that are chamfered with run-out stops, though there is little else of interest. The roof features collar beam trusses.
