Description
The Cottage is a cottage, probably built around 1660. It features a timber frame that is rendered and brick, with a thatched roof made of reed. The roof is half hipped on the right side and has a small rebuilt ridge stack. The building has one storey and an attic, with one dormer. There are four windows, all of which are casements from the 20th century, located on either side of the doorway in a gabled brick porch.
