Description
This is a late 17th-century cottage located in Barrington. It was originally built as one of a group of cottages starting around 1650, during the encroachment on the village green. The cottage is timber framed with roughcast rendered walls and a long straw thatched, half-hipped roof. It has a 19th-century gault brick ridge stack. The building is one storey high with an attic containing a single dormer window. There are three windows in total, including two horizontal sliding sash windows. A doorway has been relocated to the rear wall. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments for West Cambridgeshire details this building.
