Fyrse Cottage

Fyrse Cottage is a cottage dating from the 16th century, with a date stone inscribed "Thomas Fyrse 1658". It was refenestrated in the early 20th century. The building is rendered over rubble and features a thatched roof, with double Roman tiles on a single-storey garage that adjoins it. The cottage has an L-plan layout, consisting of three cells and a cross passage, with an addition at the rear and a garage to the right.

It stands one and a half storeys tall and has a façade with two sets of two bays. The first floor has 20th-century leaded metal windows, while the outer bays feature three-light mullioned and transomed windows with gabled tops. There are three-light casements beside these windows, all rising from below the eaves. On the ground floor to the left, there are large two-light Ham stone mullioned windows, which are chamfered with run-out stops. To the left of the entrance is another three-light casement, followed by another Ham stone mullioned three-light casement, and double garage doors. The entrance includes a chamfered square-headed doorway with a studded plank door that has long hinges, possibly from the 17th century.

Inside, the right wall of the cross passage has been rebuilt as a timber partition. There is a chamfered beam with scroll stops in the former kitchen and a chamfered lintel above a fireplace that is said to show evidence of former bacon curing. The left wall of the cross passage has been refaced in stone, and there is a timber-framed corridor wall at the rear with brick infill. A three-light octagonal mullioned window is located on the rear wall, and there are lateral beams in the hall and the west end room. The upper storey is said to contain evidence of a jointed cruck roof.
