To be fair, I missed the important part of this cottage in the photo - the black and white portion at the rear and at the left gable is much older and more interesting than the 18th/19th century brick frontage mostly seen here. The rearwards part dates back to the 15th or 16th century, being interpreted as the remaining fragment of a much larger open hall-house, and built of cruck-frame construction, with a series of period features both internally and externally which give clues to its age and origins. It was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101224481-glebe-cottage-wroxeter-and-uppington#.YO8Q3uhKjIU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1224481 in 1985.
