East Milford Cottage. Cottage standing in farmyard. Probably early to mid 17th century. Rendered stone rubble walls possibly with some cob. Gable-ended corrugated asbestos roof. Rubble axial stack with brick shaft and similar stack at left gable-end.
Plan: either 2 or 3-room plan, the right-hand room is problemmatic since on the ground floor it has no internal access and serves a non-domestic function but the room above is part of the house. Both the other rooms are heated by fireplaces in their end walls, the right-hand room is built out at the front for a staircase and window bay. 19th century outbuilding added at right-hand end.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 2-window front with shallow wide rectangular projection to right of centre which has a late 20th century single light casement on the 1st floor and a 19th century 2-light small-paned casement below with a small 20th century stair light to its left. To the right of the projection is a plank door to the integral outbuilding and a 20th century 2-light casement above. Large lean-to 20th century porch to left of projection with window and glazed door to the right. Lower 19th century outbuilding attached at right-hand end. Interior: wide 17th century fireplace in left-hand room with chamfered and step-stopped wooden lintel. Chamfered ceiling beam in right-hand room. Roof trusses over left- hand end have had their feet cut of but they appear to curve and have heavy purlins. Roof space inaccessible at time of survey but an inspection would give a more precise date to the house and might reveal origins earlier than 17th century. Date listed: 19th June 1989.
