II

Farmhouse, subsequently The Cock Inn, now 2 dwellings. Probably later C17; altered. Handmade red brick with some burnt headers, some tile-hanging, red tile roof. Linear 3-unit lobby-entry plan with continuous rear outshut. Two storeys and attic, with 4 windows at 1st floor; No.77 (the right-hand half) has the doorway in line with the chimney at the junction of the 2nd and 3rd bays, protected by a small pitched canopy; a small window to the right (lighting former larder), otherwise one 3-light casement window in each bay at ground floor and 2-light casements above; and over the ground floor window to the right a 4-course band carried round. Large axial chimney stack behind the ridge. The gable wall is tile hung at ground floor and above 1st floor, with a 2-light casment at 1st floor (recently re-opened) and a single-light window to the attic; and an added chimney stack. To the left, No.75 has two C20 bay windows at ground floor, two 2-light casements at 1st floor; and its gable wall has an inserted doorway and a large external chimney stack at the end of the outshut. The rear of the whole building has a catslide roof over the outshut. Interior: No.77 has an inglenook fireplace with chamfered bressummer; the 3rd bay is partitioned (perhaps historically so) to make a small larder just inside the doorway; and part of the former housepart in the centre is incorporated in the other dwelling. No.75 has in the rear left corner (end of outshut) a small inglenook fireplace with chamfered bressummer, and remains of a former bread oven. Both dwellings have internal timber framing of light scantling.
