Description
Church End Cottage is an 18th-century building constructed of grey brick with red brick dressings. It stands two storeys tall and features an old clay tile roof. The façade includes five sash windows set in flush frames, each topped with gauged brick heads. A first-floor band runs along the building, and there is a moulded wood cornice. A modern porch has been added to the original doorway, which is framed by fluted Roman Doric pilasters and an entablature, leading to a six-fielded panel door within an architrave.
