Oakhurst Cottage is a tiny 16th or 17th-century cottage in Hambledon, in Surrey. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
The cottage was given to the National Trust in 1954, and occupied until 1983. It has been restored to illustrate the dwelling of a labourer in the Victorian era.
History
The building may have originally been a barn.[2] The cottage as it exists now was built in the 16th or 17th century. It was occupied until the 1980s.[3]
The cottage has since been restored and furnished to illustrate an example of a labourer's cottage.[4]
The cottage was given to the National Trust in 1954 by the Allfrey sisters but was lived in by their tenants Elsie and Ted Jeffrey until Ted's death in 1983.[5] Its garden is filled with plants that were popular during the Victorian era.[6] Such is its size that Oakhurst Cottage can only be viewed by appointment, and by groups of no more than six people at a time.[4]
Architecture
The two-storey building has a timber frame and a tiled roof. The infill between the timbers is colourwashed brick.[1] There is a chimney to one side and a wing at the back.[1] In the quarry-tiled kitchen is a large brick hearth beneath an oak beam,[2][7] with examples of china and household implements which may have been used in a similar house.[8] The bedrooms are accessed by a narrow staircase into the attic. These have two gabled dormer windows with some old glass in diamond-pane leading.[9]
In the garden is an outhouse which housed the toilet,[2] and a small barn with a collection of garden and workmen's tools.[10]
