Description
Church Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 17th century, with extensions made in the late 18th or 19th century and some later alterations. The building features a rendered timber frame and a brick addition set on a rendered plinth, topped with a slate roof. Originally designed with a two-cell plan, it was extended to the right in the late 18th or 19th century. The cottage is one storey high with an attic.
On the ground floor, there are two 19th-century casement windows, with the one on the right featuring a segmental head. A 19th-century gabled eaves dormer is located to the left of the center. The entrance is on the right, accessed through a boarded door that has a semi-circular hood above it. There is a red brick ridge stack situated to the right of the center, which was formerly at the gable end, along with a subsidiary stack located at the bottom of the roof slope to the left. The building has projecting double-purlin ends.
Although the interior could not be inspected during the resurvey in July 1986, it was noted to have two deep-chamfered spine beams and heavy joists in the left ground-floor room, along with a large chimney breast beneath the ridge stack.
