Could a cottage truly journey through time? Here at The Old Cottage in Cheam Village, the answer seems to be a resounding yes. The Old Cottage isn’t just old; it’s a 15th-century marvel, a survivor whispering tales of bygone eras. The Old Cottage stands as a testament to the ingenuity of timber framing. Its exposed beams and concrete panels tell a story of resilience. Originally situated at Cheam Cross Roads, The Old Cottage embarked on its own little adventure sometime between 1920 and 1939. It was carefully repaired, then moved, timber frame by timber frame, to its current location on The Broadway. This relocation showcases the brilliance of timber framing. Once constructed, these frames are self-supporting, allowing for such remarkable feats of relocation. Imagine the scene: a centuries-old cottage, making its way through the streets, a tangible piece of history on the move. The Old Cottage has witnessed a changing world from its unique vantage point. Today, amidst the bustle of modern Cheam, it offers a glimpse into the past, a charming reminder of a time when life moved at a slower pace.
