3/81 Wayside (formerly listed as Wayside Cottage) 4.2.58

GV II

Detached cottage. C15 origins, modified. Local stone rubble, some patching in roughly cut and squared lias stone; thatched roof with plain overhung gables; brick end and intermediate chimney stacks. Single-storey with attics, 7 bays. Mid-1980s rectangular-leaded timber casement windows of 2, 4, 4, 3, 2 and 3 lights; above, 3-light windows set into thatch over bays 2 and 4, the former a C18 window with central iron-framed opening light; to bay 4 open timber and thatched porch with C20 door. North-west gable apparently cob above stonework, south-east gable timber clad. All significant work is internal: cross-passage plan, with plank and muntin partitions, a hall fireplace with timber-framed smoke hood, an early pointed-arched timber framed doorway; above, ample evidence of jointed cruck construction, with smoke-blackened curved windbraces, and wattle-and-daub partitioning, and signs of a likely curing chamber: some internal wall faces may be of cob. (VAG Report, SRO unpublished, 1975).
