Description
The Old Cottage is a 17th-century timber-framed cottage that has undergone modern alterations and additions. It features roughcast infill panels and a tiled roof with gabled ends. The building is two-storey with an attic and includes a large modern flat roof dormer. There is a circa 19th-century single-storey lean-to extension that spans the entire front of the cottage. A brick ridge stack is located at the center, and most of the windows are modern casements. At the rear, there is an early 20th-century range of brick cottages that adjoins the property.
