Tudor Cottage

Tudor Cottage is a cottage dating from the early 17th century, which was largely rebuilt by William Pinney in the 19th century. It is constructed from local lias stone that is cut and roughly squared, with Ham stone dressings, and features a clay pantiled roof between stepped coped gables and brick end chimney stacks. The building has two storeys with an attic and consists of two bays on the south elevation.

The south elevation includes hollow-chamfered mullioned windows with labels; there is a four-light window on the ground floor, a three-light window on the first floor, and a two-light window in the gabled attic dormer. The windows have rectangular leaded panes, some with iron opening casements. A cambered arched doorway is located between the bays and is sheltered by a timber and tile porch. There is a part string course at the first floor cill level, and above each dormer window, there are small plaques with the initials 'WP' in gothic script.

The west side elevation may have been less extensively rebuilt and features a cill string course at the first floor. On the ground floor, there is a pair of two-light mullioned windows, with the left window having a hood mould. Centrally on the first floor, there is an oriel window with a configuration of 1+3+1 lights, which has wave and hollow chamfer moulded windows supported by a simple stepped corbel and topped with a stone slate hipped roof. In the gable, there is a plain two-light chamfered window with a label and plaque above.

The interior has not been seen, but it is reported to include ceiling beams with scroll stops, a spiral stone staircase at the rear (partly renewed), a moulded four-centre arched fireplace, and a plain partition. William Pinney, who owned Somerton Randle, undertook significant building work in the late 19th century.
