DEPDEN BURY ROAD

4/10012 Honey cottage

- II

House. Late C17, eaves raised and re-roofed C20. Timber-framed and roughcast rendered with
a C20 corrugated iron roof over earlier thatch. Brick ridge stack to centre left. 3-unit plan.
Single storey and attic. 2-window range of C20 small-paned casements. 4-panel door set within
open-fronted porch. INTERIOR. Partly-concealed intact frame of 4 bays, of fairly heavy
scantling with primary bracing, and face-halved scarf joints in the wallplates. Each ground floor
room has an axial chamfered ceiling beam, and 2 have partly exposed plain oak joists set flat.
The ceiling beam in the central room is heavy, with nicked stop-chamfers at one end, and is
probably re-used. Back-to-back open fireplaces, partly infilled, on ground floor. By the front
wall in the centre of the house is an unenclosed straight-flight stair of oak construction, possibly
original. C17 roof intact under C20 replacement, ceiled-in at collar level.
