TQ 64 SE BRENCHLEY TIBBS COURT LANE
6/189 Hilltop Cottage
GV II
Small cottage. Probably late C18/early C19. Framed construction, clad in weatherboarding, the left end wall partly rebuilt in brick; peg-tile roof; brick stack.
Plan: The cottage faces west, on a corner site. It is a remarkably narrow 2- cell plan with a central entrance, a kitchen/parlour to the left (north) heated from an end stack and an unheated room to the right. The size was presumably determined by the rather awkward site.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Almost symmetrical 3-bay front with a C20 central glazed front door with a sloping corrugated iron hood. 2 first floor C19 or C20 2-light casements, 6 panes per light, similar window to ground floor right, similar 3-light casement to ground floor left.
Interior: Not inspected.
One of a group of small cottages forming an artisan hamlet in Tibbs Court Lane.
