Delves Cottage is a historic building in Egton Bridge, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
The cruck framed cottage was probably built in the 17th century. A chimney was added in 1713. The building was restored and extended between 1975 and 1977, and it was grade II* listed in 1989.[1]
The cottage's wooden frame is encased in sandstone. It has a thatched roof, and an extension with a pantile roof. It has a single storey, 2½ bays, and a lower single-storey single bay extension. On the front is a doorway, a fire window with a chamfered surround, a sash window and a casement window. Inside, there are three pairs of full crucks and an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered bressummer. Next to the fireplace is an early spice cupboard, with a drawer below it.[1][2] Other early features include a carved witch post, a feature once common in the area, but now the only surviving one in the parish.[3]
