Summary

Grade II listed former house, now used as a cottage and shop. It was built in the later 17th century and has 19th century and 20th century alterations. It is timber framed with brick nogging on a stone base. It was last recorded as having sheeting over a thatched roof. Wood was in plentiful supply as a building material in Britain until the 17th century. It was therefore the most practical material for house building. Timber framed buildings consist of a wooden framework (usually oak) that was infilled to create solid walls. Infill material used included wattle and daub, lath and plaster, brick and weather board. Brick nogging, (brick infill) was often used in the 17th and 18th centuries to replace earlier wattle and daub or lath and plaster infill as it was longer lasting.
