Description
Winters Moon is a cottage dating from around 1800. It features a mix of partly colourwashed roughcast over a timber frame with a thatched roof, and partly colourwashed brick with a clay tile roof. The cottage has a two-room plan, with the right-hand bay likely being a later addition. It is one storey high with attics. On the ground floor, there are two 2-light casement windows with glazing bars, while the attic includes a gabled dormer on the right-hand side. There is a 20th-century door on the left-hand side, and a rendered brick chimney stack is located to the right of the left-hand part.
