Description
Waterfall Cottage is a 17th-century building that was likely once a single dwelling with an outbuilding. It features a timber frame, color-washed brick nogging, and machine-tiled roofs. The cottage has two storeys and includes casement windows with glazing bars. On the right side, there is a lower wing with one storey and attics, which has a hipped dormer. The entrance is accentuated by bracketed gabled doorhoods. Waterfall Cottage is part of a group that includes The Bull's Head Hotel, premises at the western corner of Birmingham Road and Gloves Close, The Nags Head, The Coach House, and Brooklyn.
