II
Cottage. C16, c1700, early C19, C20. Timber-framed on brick sill with weatherboard, thatched roof, hipped at N end. Plan, rectangular with 2 units. To S, main house with red brick stack towards S end, to N, smaller secondary addition with central red brick stack, same width but eaves and roof apex lower and thatch swept over resulting in a step in roof line. EXTERIOR: C20 refurbishment has renewed all windows and some weatherboard, however, windows kept to original scale and weatherboarding blended in with irregularities on underlying structure. Single-storeyed. W front elevation, S principal unit, C19 boarded door with flush beaded moulding with one window to S, 2 to N. N sub-unit single similar door with window to N. All windows are 2-light casements with single horizontal glazing bar, 2x2 panes. Rear, E elevation, S unit has single 2-light casement, each casement with glazing bars, 2x2 panes, 4x2 in all. 2 smaller similar windows in N sub-unit. S end elevation has a single 2-light casement window with horizontal glazing bars, 2x2 panes. N end elevation in plain weatherboarding with central C20 boarded door. INTERIOR: principal block, single-storey framing of c1700 prevalent, primary braced, some reused timber, 3 principal bay trusses, at centre and at each end, early-mid C16 with jowled posts. N end truss and wall plates most informative, once having central arched braces to tie-beam and internal arched braces traversing wall studding above a middle rail (similarly found in contemporary buildings in the Epping area). Redundant mortice for middle rail implies another bay at N end on site of present lower end unit. Slots for wattling of transverse partition. N end unit is later than principal block, having more evenly squared sawn timber, probably early C19. Roof rafter couples rebuilt in C19 in softwood. S stack has single early C19 segment headed fireplace. N stack has 2 back-to-back fireplaces, to S all now C20, to N with early C19 wooden fire-surround. The house is the simplest dwelling of C16 origin in the Brentwood District to survive and represents a class of houses frequently to be seen on maps of the time but now virtually all gone.
