Description
Sundial Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations made in the late 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a Collyweston slate roof with coped gables and rebuilt stone chimneys. The building has one and a half to two storeys and consists of two to three bays.
The gable end facing the road includes a 20th-century canted bay window on the ground floor, a 17th-century three-light window with ovolo-moulded ironstone mullions on the first floor, and a sundial above. The right side of the house, which faces Church Lane, has a 17th-century two-light mullion window of a similar style on the ground floor to the right, along with a small single light window in the center. The upper windows are 19th- to 20th-century two-light wooden casements, with two located below the eaves in the center and two more in gabled semi-dormers on the left and right. The rear of the cottage features some 19th- to 20th-century windows, some of which are blocked, and a central half-glazed door set within a gabled wooden porch. The interior has not been seen.
