Honey Cottage and the barn/garage at Number 4 is an 18th-century building located on Crockett Lane. The structure is made of coursed rubble stone and features a thatched roof with two stone ridge stacks, while the barn/garage has a roof that is partly thatch and partly corrugated. The cottage is a long range, with the cottage on the left and the barn/garage on the right. It is 1½ storeys high and has three 2-light casements, one of which is in an extension at the left end, along with a door located centre right that has a 20th-century tiled canopy above it. There are two eyebrow dormers, one with 2-light casements and the other with both 2-light and 1-light casements. The barn/garage features a blocked door on the left with an eyebrow dormer above it, garage doors to the right, and a central first-floor square loft door. Additionally, there are various triangular loopholes present in the structure.
