Description
Hodnet Cottage is a cottage dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and features painted brick nogging on a rendered plinth, topped with a thatched roof. The framing consists of small square panels, with three panels extending from the sole plate to the wall plate, corner braces, and long straight tension braces. The cottage has two framed bays that are positioned at right angles to the road and is either one storey with a gable-lit attic or two storeys high.
On the south-west front, there are two tiers of late 19th-century two-light wooden or wooden-framed metal casements, with three windows above and four below. A boarded door is located between the first and second windows from the right. The left-hand gable end features a collar and tie-beam truss with queen struts and V-struts. There is also a late 19th-century one-storey brick outbuilding attached to the south-east. The interior has not been inspected.
