Description

Treasury Cottage is a two-storey house built from roughcast rubble stone. Originally designed with three windows, it was extended to four in the later 19th century, maintaining a matching style. There is also a colourwashed rubble stone service wing to the southwest. The main house features a slate roof with end stacks and a ridge stack at the original end wall. The original three-bay front has tripartite sashes with 4-12-4 panes in the outer bays and a 20-pane sash in the center, positioned above a flush-panelled four-panel door set in a pedimented painted timber doorcase. This doorcase is adorned with a shallow open pediment supported by elongated brackets. At the eaves, there is an eroded stone moulded course, which may have originally been cyma-moulded and could be a remnant of an older building. The added 19th-century eastern bay features a similar tripartite sash on each floor. The rear includes a 12-pane stair light and 4-pane sashes.

Attached to the west end is a low one-and-a-half-storey cottage or service range, also constructed of colourwashed rubble stone. This section has a centrally located ledged door with an overlight, a 6-pane window to the right, and two first-floor 9-pane sashes that break the eaves, with the left one possibly being added or renewed later.

Joseph Lord's 1720 map indicates that the northern wing of the medieval Treasurer's House was located on this site, with a smaller section on the site of the service range. However, the interiors currently show no signs of earlier structures, except for the unique feature of a long corridor running the length of the rear wall, as noted on the 1720 map. The house also contains an early 19th-century staircase with a circular newel and one room featuring a 19th-century iron grate in a plain wood surround.
