Description
The Porch House and Church End Cottage is a house that was formerly two cottages, dating from the 18th century with 19th-century additions and alterations. The building is timber-framed and roughcast rendered, featuring thatched roofs along with a plain tiled roof. It has a tarred brick plinth, a red brick ridge stack, and two gault brick stacks on either side. The structure is one storey with an attic, and there is a 20th-century gable extension to the south-west. To the left, there is a projecting gabled wing and a single-storey closed porch, both adorned with barge boards and finials. The porch has a 19th-century four-panelled door, with two boarded doors on either side. The ground floor windows are fitted with glazing bars, and there is one attic window along with two gabled dormer windows.
