Description
Clement Cottage is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is timber framed and plastered, topped with a hipped thatched roof. The building has one storey with attics and features three gabled thatched dormers. The windows are double hung sashes, each with two vertical glazing bars. The front of the house has a 20th-century oak gabled porch with a peg tile roof. There is an off-centre ridge line stack in an 'L' plan form, which includes an inglenook and a timber mantel beam that creates a 'baffle entry'. Inside, there are signs of reused timbers and some soot blackened rafters.
