3/29 Dorset Cottage

II

Cottage. C18. 2 storeys. Timber-framed and roughcast, with a steeply-hipped thatched roof. A plain red brick chimney-stack set externally on the south wall, and a single-storey brick and pantiled lean-to addition along the west wall. 2 3-light C20 windows to ground storey; 2 2-light plain casements to upper storey. Fully enclosed C20 gabled porch. Typical C18 softwood framing inside: primary braces and bisected studs. The roof has a short ridge-piece, no principal rafters, and clasped purlins, with the hips terminating in a gablet at the apex: an unusual form, resembling the roof of a dovecot. An early C19 extension to the cottage on the north side, with a second chimney- stack, now forms a separate house and is not included in the listing.
