Full Description

The following text is from the original listed building designation:
TR 03 NE BONNINGTON CHERRY ORCHARD LANE (south side) 4/81 Cherry Orchard Cottage II House. 1691 alteration of earlier structure altered mid C20. Timber framed and part exposed with plaster and painted brick on ragstone base, and clad to rear with tile hanging. Extended with applied timber to brick. Plain tiled roofs. One storey and attic with hipped roof and gablets and stacks to centre left, end right and projecting forward at end left. Hipped extension to left. Two jettied gables, that to right mid C20. Further extension (C20) to right. Leaded wooden casements on each floor of gables, and 3 more to ground floor. Boarded door to centre left in gabled half-timbered porch. Rear elevation (some time entrance front) with datestone on stack: S M L 1691 Interior: the pyramidal stepped stack with inglenook fireplace interrupts earlier framing, the floors braced and resting on the stack with re-used chamfered timbers. Full frame visible, renewed roof. The quality of additions and restoration in 1691 and 1930's makes it difficult to assess how much timber (especially on entrance front) is original, or whether this is a C17 building or earlier structure altered 1691.
