Description
This is an 18th-century cottage, originally a coachman’s house associated with the Vicarage. The walls are predominantly of clunch rubble and limewashed, with a timber-framed gable end on the right and some brick on the left. The roof is covered in pantiles and features an end stack. The cottage’s layout consists of two rooms divided by a cross-passage. It is a single storey with an attic, incorporating a cat-slide dormer. The front has two small casement windows flanking the doorway. The building is listed for its contribution to the wider group value of buildings in the area.
