Description
The Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage with a later 19th-century extension, located on the south side of The Green in East Drayton. It is constructed of red brick and features a hipped pantile roof with a single red brick stack, which is the original stack from the early 19th-century cottage. The ridge of the later extension is slightly lower than that of the original structure. The eaves have a dogtooth design, except for a portion of the main front.
The building is two storeys high and has four bays. The ground floor includes a doorway with a plank door, a single tripartite glazing bar casement, a smaller tripartite glazing bar Yorkshire sash, and another doorway with a wooden door. All ground floor openings are set under segmental arches. On the first floor, there is a large tripartite casement and a glazing bar Yorkshire sash to the right. To the right, set back, is a brick and pantile lean-to with a doorway under a segmental arch.
The left side of the building, facing the road, has two bays and features a first-floor band, a doorway with a wooden door, and a single glazing bar Yorkshire sash to the right. Above this is a smaller similar sash. At the rear, there is a lean-to extension.
