SP 0738 CHILDSWICKHAM CP ATKINSON STREET (south side)
7/156 Wyck Cottage
GV II
House. C17, with earlier remains and C20 alterations. Stone rubble with
remains of cruck frame. Two storeys. At the right (west) is a gabled wing
which has two windows on the ground floor with plain reveals, and a similar
window on the first floor. Straight joints to each side suggest rebuilding
in stages, perhaps with stone replacing timber-framing. To the left is a
single-storey C20 range with garage and doorway. Above it is a gable pro-
jecting from the east wall of the wing, suggesting that the C20 range may be
on the site of an earlier part of the building. The west wall of the wing
contains a window which has three small chamfered lights cut into a single
piece of stone. To its right are two windows with keyed lintels, the right-
hand one within a blocked doorway. Chimney on rear wall of wing. Interior:
ground floor rooms of wing have exposed ceiling joists. Those in the rear
room are chamfered and stopped. This room contains a C17 stone fireplace
with canted head. On the first floor, part of a cruck truss is visible in
the central partition wall. The two blades, part of the collar, and one
spur are visible.
