Description
Black Well Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that was formerly divided into two. It features a timber frame with plastered infill and a tiled roof, along with a grey brick ridge stack. The cottage is one and a half storeys high and was probably originally built with four structural bays and square panelling. It has four 20th-century gabled eaves dormers with bargeboards, and there are 20th-century bow windows on either side of the left-hand entrance, which is under a 20th-century gabled porch also with bargeboards. To the right, there is a small square casement window. The right-hand end of the building includes a late 20th-century addition with a catslide roof at the front.
