3/97 Forge Cottage

II

Cottage. C16, with older core. Timber-framed and rendered; asbestos slates. 1½ storeys; now 3-cell form. An internal chimney-stack has a plain rebuilt red brick shaft on a base of Tudor brick with a blank recessed panel. 2 old 3-light casement windows with a single horizontal bar to lights and one single-light window. Plank door, within an open rustic timber porch; another plain C20 door on left. A single-storey lean-to on the, right gable end. The left side of the cottage has been raised: in the gable end a lower wallplate is visible, and the slope of an earlier roof is outlined in pargetting. Inside, most framing is covered, but the position of substantial timbers can be seen under wallpaper. There is no chimney-bay, and an upper tie-beam has been cut through for access. The end bay on the right has rough exposed timbering and is a later addition; a change of floor levels in the room above.
