Description

Easter Cottage and Endley Cottage are a pair of cottages dating from the 16th or 17th century, with later alterations and additions. They are constructed with timber framing and plaster, featuring some weatherboarding. The cottages have a thatched roof, which includes two eyebrow dormers on the left and a gabled dormer on the right, along with a red brick chimney stack. To the left, there is a single-storey extension with a red tiled roof. The front has a four-window range of small paned casements and a 20th-century enclosed gabled porch to the left. A vertically boarded door is located to the right. Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace and exposed ceiling beams. Additionally, there is a pump with a fluted head and spout attached to the front wall of Endley Cottage.
