Monument record TQ 56 NW 320 - Wested Cottage
Summary
Wested Cottage appears on the 1803 Estate map of Wested Farm, and is likely to have been built as farm labourers' accommodation. The cottage 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.
