Description
Butterfly Cottage is a house dating to the 17th century, with later alterations. It was formerly known as Noleham Cottage. The house is timber-framed with plaster infill, and has a plastered brick outshut. It features a steeply pitched thatched roof, renewed in 1991, and a brick end stack.
The house presents a gable facing the road, with a single-unit plan plus thatched lean-to outshuts at each end. The entrance is to the left of centre, with a 20th-century porch and a plank door with an inner glazed door. To the right of the entrance is a canted bay window with a hipped tile roof. Each outshut contains a two-light casement window. The first floor has a wide eyebrow dormer with a 20th-century casement window. The left return has a weatherboarded gable over the outshut. The rear elevation is similar, with a raking dormer and a triangular first-floor window.
The interior, which was not inspected, is noted to have exposed beams and a fireplace with a bressumer.
