Description
Bramble Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the 15th century and later. It is constructed from roughly cut and squared ham stone, with some ashlar dressings and rendered cob, topped by a thatched roof featuring a coped gable on the west side and a plain gable on the east. The cottage is single-storey with an attic and consists of four bays.
The windows include hollow-chamfered mullioned designs in chamfered recesses, with labels above; there are 3-light windows in bays 2 and a 4-light window in bay 4, all featuring rectangular leaded glass. Bay 1 has a lower-set 3-light horizontal-bar casement window, and similar windows are present in the attic above bays 2, 3, and 4, with the window in bay 2 being a 1985 addition, set into swept dormers. A boarded door in a heavy frame is located in the lower part of bay 3. At the rear, there is an outshut.
Although the interior was not seen, it is reported to have a cross-passage 3-room plan, with one post-and-truss inner wall made of wattle and daub, and a ceiling featuring a 4-panelled chamfer-beam. In the west gable, there is a large fireplace with a brick-lined oven and a curving chamber. The roof frame includes one smoke-blackened jointed cruck truss and one post and truss-frame.
