Description
This is an early 18th-century cottage with a 20th-century addition at the rear. The cottage is timber-framed with a pebble dash render and a pantile roof, and features a brick ridge stack. It is a single-story building with an attic. The cottage has three bays with a lobby entry and a chimney stack with a winding stair located at the rear of the central bay. The front entrance has a plain timber frame with glazed upper panels. To either side of the entrance are 2-light horizontal sliding sash windows with 4x3 panes of glazing. There are 20th-century windows in each gable and one in the rear wall. Internally, the fireplaces in the front rooms have been reduced in size and fitted with 20th-century surrounds. A cupboard to the right of the fireplace in the east room contains a fragment of medieval window moulding built into the wall. In the attic rooms, the front purlins are supported by curved braces off posts in the cross frames.
