ILKETSHALL ST. ANDREW GREAT COMMON TM 38 NE 2/9 English Cottage - - II House. Later C17. 2 storeys. A colour-washed brick face to a timber-framed core; clay pantiles. 2 red brick Dutch gable-ends, each with well shaped copings and corbels, and a chimney-stack with a plain shaft. The left gable is colour-washed, and bears a large wrought-iron 'I' and 'R' on its upper part. Various windows, mainly C20 replacements: 2 2-light small-paned casements with segmental arched heads to the ground floor, and a fixed small- paned window on each side of the present entry. These replace 2 former doors. C20 enclosed and gabled brick and pantiled porch with glazed door. The interior has plain, not very substantial, timbering in 5 bays, with evidence of an altered layout. The ceilings are at 2 different heights, and the house may well have been extended at-both ends; it has a long frontage. The ground floor fireplace to the lift stack as original brickwork and a small timber lintel; the stack on the right is apparently a later insertion.
