Wested Cottage appears on the 1803 Estate map of Wested Farm, and is likely to have been built as farm labourers' accommodation. The building may date back to the late C17 or early C18, when the farm was upgraded. The south elevation indicates that the building was once two cottages. This is borne out by plot boundaries shown on Ordnance Survey maps dating back as far as 1894.
Wested Cottage is of two storeys and six bays with a pitched roof covered in clay tiles. The building is predominantly of brick construction, with the gable-ends and rear first-floor being tile-hung. There is a brick chimney stack to the east and west ends of the southern roof slope. To the east and west gable-ends is a single-storey lean-to extension. The south elevation, which faces on to Eynsford Road, has two blocked doorways; the one to the right now being a window. There are a further four ground-floor windows; one to either side of the blocked doorways, and four first-floor windows above. The ground floor openings have segmental heads. The joinery dates from the late C20.
Map evidence suggests the building predates 1803, and what is known of its fabric does not indicate a substantially earlier date. The original arrangement of the building; as two cottages, orientated to the south, has been considerably altered internally and externally by the creation of a single dwelling, and the in-filling of the original front doors. Externally, the building has undergone a number of alterations and the renewal of materials and features, including the replacement of the original joinery.
The historic interest of the building lies in its reflection of England's vernacular heritage in agricultural areas such as Crockenhill; however the alterations that the building has undergone undermine the link between the building's history and its actual fabric. Although of historic interest at a local level as part of the Wested Estate, Wested Cottage is not of sufficient architectural or historic interest at a national level to merit designation. (1)
