Description


MORETONHAMPSTEAD
SX 78 SE
5/102 Willowray Cottage
-
GV II

Cottage. Circa early C17, modernised in C20. Rendered granite rubble walls.
Thatched roof, gabled to right, hipped to left and raised over central first floor
window. Rendered granite rubble projecting stack to right gable end, rendered
brick axial stack, offset from ridge.
3-room plan, the right-hand room heated by gable end stack with newel stairs to
left. Probably inserted axial stack to left-hand end of central room which has
direct entry doorway. The left-hand room appears to have been an unheated store
separated by thick wall from the domestic accommodation. C20 addition to rear of
left-hand room.
2 storeys. Asymmetrical facade with 1 first floor window to left of centre and 2
on ground floor either side of doorway to left of centre. 2-light on ground floor,
3-light on first floor, C19 casements with glazing bars. Doorway has original
chamfered crank headed wooden frame with C20 stable-type door beneath C20 thatched
porch supported on posts resting on low walls. At right-hand gable end is small
stair light to right of chimney stack.
Interior contains several features of interest. In the main right-hand room is
chamfered cross beam with hollow step stops. In central room is chamfered half
beam above each partition wall. Stone newel stairs rise beside gable end stack.
First floor partition to chamber above main room is original plank and muntin
screen framed by side-pegged jointed crucks. Off centre doorway, muntins to left
are chamfered with plain run-out stops whereas those to right of doorway have
hollow step stops. Roof space inaccessible.
As well as containing the relatively unusual feature of a first floor plank and
muntin screen this cottage retains its traditional facade.
