Description

Keeper's Cottage, also known as Bowling Alley Cottage, is a mid 17th-century cottage constructed with an oak small-frame and brick nogging, painted white. The end walls beneath the gables have been rebuilt in brick, also painted to resemble small-frame construction. The roof is covered with small slates and features a single flush gable chimney. The cottage has two storeys and consists of two rooms. A central gabled dormer on the front includes two windows. The lobby entrance, located at the far right, has a framed door with three vertical panels set in a simple timber case. The windows are small six-pane casements of 19th-century vernacular style. Inside, there is an inglenook at the right end and oak beams are visible.
