Kings Cottage (EHER 36081)

Timber-framed house of 15th century origin with 17th century and later alterations.

Timber-framed and plastered building of 15th century origin but altered in the 17th century and later. Built on an L-shaped plan with a gable at the north-east side. The upper storey has exposed timber-framing on the north-east side and was formerly jettied. It is two storeys and a two window range on the front, of double-hung sashes with glazing bars and casements. On the north-east front there is an 18th or early 19th century former shop window with glazing bars. The roof is partly pantiled and partly tiled with a 17th century chimney stack with grouped diagonal shafts. The interior has exposed ceiling beams and joists and a dragon beam and joists probably of the original building. <1>
