Building record 2913/0/110 - Appletree Cottage

A 17th century house is situated on the eastern side of the Main Street, as the street leads south out of the village. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with a double pitch thatched roof with a large ridge chimney stack at the centre right. The left gable has a scar in the masonry from a former building with a door on the ground floor right. The road front has two central doors and an irregular range of casement windows. The rear elevation also has two central doors flanked by irregularly spaced casement windows.

{1} No. 1, two storeys, some freestone quoins, thatched roof, 17th-century origin. Of three cells, the north end has always been non-domestic. The house has been replanned; in the middle room the present large fireplace, with a reused 17th-century ceiling beam as bressumer, is 18th or 19th-century and may replace one originally at the north end.
