GV II
2 adjoining cottages, one build. Probably mid C17. C20 alterations. Whitewashed
and rendered; end stacks and axial stack; corrugated asbestos roof (formerly
thatched), gabled at ends.
Plan: Single depth plan, 4 rooms wide with larger heated rooms to left and right and
smaller heated service rooms in the centre, rear left and right stair projections,
entrances at left and right into lobbies facing the gable end chimney breasts.
Possibly a pair of purpose built C17 cottages: a rare building type for the date.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front the windows arranged in regular
bays. Front door at the left, 2-storey porch to the right. Variety of 2-and 3-light
timber casements with glazing bars, probably early C20, except for first floor window
right which is a 4-light C17 mullioned window with ovolo-moulded mullions. The
window to the left of this is also C17 with chamfered mullions. A projection below
the eaves suggests that the roof may have been raised.
Interior: Both outer rooms retain chamfered crossbeams and original lintels and
jambs to the fireplaces are likely to survive behind later grates. The right hand
cottage has a plank and muntin screen between the 2 rooms.
Roof: Not inspected but an old roof structure may survive, possibly below later
timbers.
Pairs of cottages of this date are rare in the county.
