Description
The Nook is a small cottage dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with a late 20th-century extension. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a thatched roof and featuring an end stack on the west gable. The cottage has one storey and an attic, with a modern extension that is positioned at right angles to the original entrance. On the ground floor, there are three casement windows, which include one bay window, and an eyebrow dormer window is present in the attic.
