Full Description
Two listed buildings now combined into one.
Christmas Cottage is apparent timber framed hall house with screens passage, floored over in the 17th century when the west end and stack were added on a different alignment. Some details cannot at present be explained as little of the construction is exposed.
Cottage to the north is an 18th century brick cottage extended at two dates in the 19th century when it was part of a smithy.

The building seems to have been built as a two-cell hall and service house in the mid sixteenth century. It may have had an original timber framed chimney. A brick chimney and parlour was added in the seventeeth century.
