Birch Cottage

Birch Cottage is a late 17th-century cottage that has been cased in brick, likely in the early 19th century. It was re-windowed and re-doored in the late 20th century without changing the original openings. The exterior features painted English garden wall bond brickwork and a thatched roof. The cottage is one and a half storeys tall and has two windows with camber-arched heads. There is a slate-roofed gabled porch on the left side and a rebuilt chimney on the left gable. Additionally, there is a one-storey, one-room slate-roofed brick lean-to at the left end.

Inside, the layout follows a lobby-entrance plan and includes an inglenook with a cambered chamfered oak bressumer, as well as a cambered oak beam in the same room and some oak small framing in the internal walls. The staircase has been renewed. While the new windows have significantly changed the appearance of the cottage, these alterations are considered superficial.
