Hyde Cottage (EHER 37559)

Late 16th to early 17th century timber-framed house.

House of the late 16th to early 17th century. It is two storeys, and timber-framed and plastered. It is at right angles to road, with a crosswing at the south end and a gabled peg tile roofs. The exterior has 20th century casements with glazing bars, false timber-framing and ridge line stack. The interior reveals a parlour/service crosswing at south end and that the 'in-line' parlour end was end jettied. It is a probable open hall of one bay with 17th century double sided stack, with inglenooks, that to the solar wing having elliptical plan form. Remains of many former windows can be traced, that to the solar having the usual 'hall' format of three lights either side of a central square mullion. Here, the tie beam archbraces survive in later partition. The roof is clasped side purlins. <1>
