Description

Rayne Hatch Cottage is a pair of attached cottages that have been converted into one house. They date from the early 19th century and were extended in the 20th century. The building is constructed of flint rubble with red brick dressings and has a slate roof. It features a single-span range facing northwest, with a stack at each end wall. The right end has a 20th-century crosswing made of red brick.

The cottage is two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are four original horizontal sash windows, each with 12 panes over 12 panes. The first floor also has four original horizontal sash windows, each with 15 panes over 15 panes. There is a plain boarded door and one blocked doorway, with segmental arches above all window and door openings.

The rear elevation retains two original horizontal sash windows with 12 panes over 12 panes on the first floor. One rear doorway has been blocked and replaced with a 20th-century window, while the other has been enclosed by a 20th-century conservatory. Additionally, one original horizontal sash window with 12 panes over 12 panes from the rear elevation has been reused on the first-floor front of the 20th-century wing. The cottage is shown on the tithe map of 1839, held at the Essex Record Office.
