Description

Bonnet Cottage is a house dating from around 1700, with later additions and alterations, including a 20th-century extension to the right. The building features timber framing that is fronted in painted plaster, topped with a thatched roof, while the extension has a plain-tile roof. A pinkish-brown brick stack is present.

The main range is two storeys high and has two windows. On the first floor, there are two 20th-century windows with chamfered jambs and sills. The ground floor has an entrance on the left with a plank door set in a moulded wooden frame beneath a thatched porch. The ground floor also includes a 12-pane casement window under a timber lintel and another 20th-century window, both featuring chamfered jambs and sills. The gable ends show small timber framing, with a fire window on the right gable and also at the stack. The roof is steeply pitched and gabled, with a large projecting stack at the right end that has a cornice, though the upper part has been rebuilt.

Inside, the front room contains an inglenook fireplace with a bressumer beam, along with exposed beams and rafters.
