TQ 64 NW CAPEL FIVE OAK GREEN ROAD (north side) 1/256 Oak Cottage II Cottage. Mid/late C17, refurbished in the late C19 with some circa 1986 modernisation. Timber-framed, ground floor underbuilt with Flemish bond red brick, clad with peg-tile above; brick stack and chimneyshaft; peg-tile roof. Plan: 3-room lobby entrance plan house set back from the Green facing south east. At the left (south west) end is a small unheated service room, probably a buttery or dairy originally. Alongside is the parlour and at the right end the former kitchen. Between hall and parlour an axial stack serves back-to- back fireplaces and lobby entrance in front. Straight flight stairs rise from parlour along rear wall of the service room. Much of the roof was rearranged in the late C19 and the parlour and service room partition was removed in the C20. 2 storeys with attics in the roofspace and C19 summerhouse to rear of former kitchen and lean-to outhots across the rest of the rear. Exterior: Irregular 3-window front of circa 1988 uPVC casements with glazing bars, built the same size as the windows they replaced. Front doorway right of centre contains late C19/early C20 part-glazed plank door behind contemporary gabled porch. Tall roof is half-hipped both ends and includes a single front dormer, the roof pitch lifted to accommodate it. Interior: This framed structure is essentially C17. Where it is exposed on the first floor each bay has relatively slender straight tension braces. Main rooms have chamfered axial beams with scroll stops in the kitchen and bar- scroll stops in the parlour. Both main fireplaces are brick with plain oak lintels, the kitchen one is larger and includes a cupboard and blocked oven doorway. The rail between parlour and service room has initials and an inverted heart motif carved onto it above the stair. Roof structure is mostly hidden behind C19 and C20 plaster but appears to have been remodelled in the C19. It has no collars now. Listing NGR: TQ6481745366
