Description
Ash Tree Cottage is a 16th-century cottage that features a timber frame and plaster exterior, topped with a thatched roof and two red brick chimneys. The building is one storey high with an attic and originally had a two-unit plan, which may have been extended in the late 17th century or early 18th century. It includes three casement windows and a boarded door. The cottage was noted in the Royal Commission on Historical Monuments (Cambridgeshire) in 1952.
