Description
Tudor Cottage is a house that dates from the 16th century or earlier, with alterations from the 17th century and later. It is timber framed and plastered, featuring red plain tiled roofs. The building has an off-central red brick chimney stack with three attached diagonal shafts. There are jettied gabled crosswings on both the right and left sides of the hall, with a central gable as a prominent feature. The jetties are supported by brackets, and all gable bargeboards have serrated mouldings. The cottage has a window arrangement of three light small paned casements, with the right jetty featuring a red tile capping over a moulded pediment and two moulded brackets supporting a moulded oriel board underneath. To the right of the hall range, there is a vertically boarded door with a small light above it on the left.
