Description
Walnut Cottage is a late 17th and 18th century cottage situated on the east side of Hilton Potton Road. It is a three-unit building constructed with a timber frame, now rough-cast rendered, and has a brick gable end on the left. The roof is thatched, with a half-hipped section on the left and a mansard on the right, and features a ridge stack. The cottage is one storey high with an attic space, and has three dormers with modern casements. Three similar windows are located at ground-floor level. The main entrance is positioned opposite the stack.
