4/53 Garden Cottage -
GV II
House. C17 or earlier origins. Rendered cob and stone; tile roof gabled at right end; front lateral stack at extreme right with brick shaft projecting through the roof. The present plan is a single depth main range, 3 rooms wide, only the right hand room heated from the lateral stack. A rear right addition is 1 room on plan and 2- storeys. Although alterations have obscured a good deal of the plan the most probable interpretation is a 2 or 3 room and through passage C17 plan with the hall/kitchen to the right. The roof trusses indicate that the left hand end has been rebuilt in the circa late C17/early C18. C20 alterations have moved the doorway to the left and created a small room in the approximate position of the former passage. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 3 window front with regular fenestration of 3-light C19 casements, 8 panes per light. Gabled porch to left of centre with C19 door with fielded panels and moulded doorcase. The door has been moved one bay to the left and its former position used for a casement window which is a copy of the C19 casements. Interior: The right hand room has a deeply chamfered axial beam (no stops visible); fireplace largely reconstructed. The left hand room has a winder stair against the rear wall. There are 3 side-pegged jointed cruck trusses over the right hand end of the house, the right hand truss is adjacent to the end wall of the house, suggesting that, at one time, it extended further to the right. The trusses over the left hand end of the house are pegged and circa late C17/early C18. An attractive C19 exterior and early interior features.
