Description
Tudor Cottage is a 17th and 18th century cottage located on Wilden High Street. It is a substantial timber-frame building which has undergone later, less substantial alterations. The exterior is colour-washed rough cast, with a half-hipped thatched roof to the northeast. The cottage originally comprised two rooms across two storeys. The southeast elevation features one three-light casement and one two-light horizontal sash window on each floor; the ground floor windows have glazing bars. A 20th-century front door is positioned on the right. A red brick central ridge stack sits at the roof’s peak. A gable end displays a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a two-light casement above. Single-storey 20th-century additions extend to the rear.
