Description
Drift Cottage is a cottage, possibly originally a pair, dating from the early 19th century. It is timber-framed, rendered, and thatched, featuring a white brick ridge stack. The building has one storey and an attic, with three 20th-century casement windows. There is a doorway on the left side that may be original, but it is now set within a 20th-century porch.
