6/8 Lane Cottage and Leybrook
II
Pair of cottages. C17 and C18. Plastered cob walls. Gable ended thatched roof.
One brick axial stack and projecting rendered rubble stack at each end with brick
shafts.
Plan: At present each cottage has 2-room plan. It is reputed that they were
formerly 4 1-room plan cottages. Lane Cottage to the left appears to be the earlier
and Leybrook was probably added in the circa early C18, C19 and C20 1 storey
additions at the rear of both.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front: Lane Cottage to the left has 3-
light C20 casements to the ground floor and 1st floor left-hand window with a C19
leaded pane casement to its right. C20 thatched porch to right with part-glazed
door.
Leybrook to the right has a more regular 2 window front of 2-light C20 casements
with a C20 plank door at the centre. At its left-hand end is a shallow sloping
buttress.
Interior of Lane Cottage has open fireplace in left-hand room with narrow chamfered
wooden lintel and oven. There is no access to the roof-space but the feet of
substantial straight principals with heavy purlins are visible on the 1st floor.
Any surviving original internal features in Leybrook have been obscured by later
modernisation.
