Pair of cottages, probably a single farmhouse originally. Late C16 or C17.
Rendered stone or cob. Manor Cottage roof thatched, Orchard Cottage tiled. 2
storeys, Orchard Cottage heightened. Manor Cottage has irregular fenestration
consisting mainly of cig-type wood casements, most of which are good C20
imitations. Left-hand window of ground storey wholly altered in C20. Doorway,
off-centre to right, has plain flat-headed wood frame; plank door having wrought-
iron strap-hinges with fleurs-de-lys terminals. Left-hand gable has a rendered
chimney-stack, probably of brick, and a C19 wood casement to right in second
storey. Interior consists in ground storey of a through passage with large room to
left end, smaller room (possibly part of the former hall) to right. Ceiling-beam
of left-hand room is chamfered and has run-out stops with bar on one side. Through
passage has plank partition on right, including a plank door with long wrought-iron
strap hinges. Right-hand room has possible remains of stack in rear wall. Roof-
trusses, probably renewed C18 or early C19, have notched apexes without ridge-
pieces, threaded purlins, and collars pegged to the faces of the principal rafters.
Early fireplaces may be hidden under plaster. Orchard Cottage has doorway to right
with C20 lean-to porch; ends of a flat hood-mould either side. One window to
left in ground storey and another in centre of second storey, both with C20 wood
easements. In right-hand gable a projecting stone chimney-stack with set-offs and
tapered cap, the litter defined by a projecting slate-course beneath it. Interior
