Description
The Old Cottage is probably a 17th-century timber-framed building, largely constructed of colour-washed brick with a thatched roof and brick stacks. It has been recently restored, with sympathetic additions made to the north side. The cottage is two storeys high, originally featuring a two-window front, and formerly included a small bay. An additional one-story wing is located on the left, and previously had a tiled roof.
