Description

TQ 56 43 BIDBOROUGH PENSHURST ROAD (south side) 11/21 Mill Cottage GV II Small house. Probably C18 origins with later C18 or C19 rear addition. Ground floor painted brick, first floor tile-hung; peg-tile roof; brick stacks. Plan: North-facing with 2 principal rooms at the front heated from end stacks and a later rear outshut with a gabled rear stair projection in the centre. The original arrangement may have been a 2 cell building with a parlour/kitchen at the right end, heated from a large projecting right end stack, and an unheated room at the left - the left end stack is probably a C20 addition. A straight joint indicates that the rear outshut is a later addition. Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical 3-bay front with a gabled roof and a C20 flat-roofed central porch and C20 timber casement windows. The rear elevation has a catslide roof over the outshut and a tile-hung gabled stair projection rising out of the outshut. One small rear window to the outshut, 2 small attic dormers to the rear of the ridge. Interior: Exposed carpentry in the right hand room, there may be other features of interest. An attractive small vernacular house. Group value with Four Winds Windmill (q.v.). Listing NGR: TQ5615543382
