5/264 Half Moon Cottage

5.11.86 II

Cottage, originally a small farmhouse and once, apparently, 2 cottages.

Mid/late C17, probably divided in the late C18, reunited in the C20 and modernised circa 1986. Timber-framed. Front wall rebuilt in C18 Flemish bond red brick with burnt headers. Rest is hidden behind secondary outshots except for the west end gable which is tile-hung. Brick stack and chimneyshaft; peg- tile roof.

Plan: 3-room plan farmhouse built across the hillslope facing south and uphill. Large central room with rear lateral stack projecting into the rear outshot flanked by smaller unheated rooms.

2 storeys with attics in the roofspace. Secondary lean-to outshots on both ends and across the rear. The rear one is probably the earliest and is terraced down the hillslope lower than the main house.

Exterior: Regular but not symmetrical 3-window front of circa 1986 casements with glazing bars with a fourth in the front of the left outshot. Ground floor windows have low segmental arches over. Front doorway right of centre contains a C20 panelled door behind contemporary gabled porch. Main roof is gable-ended to left and hipped to right. It contains a front gabled dormer and another in the right hip.

Interior: Largely the result of the C20 modernisation at which time some timbers were replaced. Carpentry detail is plain. The large brick fireplace has a chamfered oak lintel. Roof was not inspected but is said to be of side purlin construction.
