Description
Meadow Cottage is a cottage dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, which was enlarged in the mid-20th century. It has a timber frame, is rendered, and features a reed thatched roof with a rebuilt chimney stack. The cottage has a single range plan and consists of one storey with an attic. There are three dormers and three casement windows, along with a small single light opening that likely served the end of the building originally. The doorway is located in a 20th-century thatched porch, and a bay has been added to the right-hand end of the cottage.
