Description
Magnolia Cottage is a house that dates from the late 17th century and has later extensions, with refurbishment in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with small diagonal braces; the ground floor is filled with brick, while the first floor has whitewashed roughcast infill. The cottage has a thatched roof and a central brick chimney that was rebuilt in the 19th century. It is two storeys tall and consists of two bays. On the ground floor to the right, there is a 19th-century three-light horizontal sash window with small panes. Each bay has one single and one two-light 20th-century barred wooden casement window on each floor. A central 20th-century brick and timber porch with a hipped thatch roof includes a window at the front and a door on the right side. At the rear, there is a 19th-century two-storey extension made of whitewashed brick and roughcast, topped with a hipped slate roof and featuring 20th-century half-timbering.
