Description
Bumble Bee Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has undergone later alterations. It features a timber-framed structure with roughcast rendering and a painted brick plinth. The cottage has two 20th-century brick ridge stacks, one of which replaced the original. The thatched roof extends as outshuts to both the front and rear of the building. It is one storey high with an attic, and has two 20th-century boarded doors located in the outshuts on the left and right sides. The ground floor includes four leaded light casement windows, while there are five eyebrow dormer windows in the attic.
