Description
Dutch Cottage is a cottage, now used as a museum, dated 1618. It features an octagonal timber frame with plastered brick facing and a thatched circular pointed roof that ends in a circular chimney stack with moulded capping. The building is one storey with attics and has central eyebrow dormer windows. The ground floor has two-light casement windows with Gothic glazing and shutters. The central door is nailed and has five upper and lower vertical panels, topped with a simple pediment on brackets. There is a rear buttress and a later single-storey lean-to extension on the left, which has a red tiled roof and a similar door. The date 1618 is inscribed above the door. Canvey Island was reclaimed in the early to mid-17th century by the Dutch, who built the sea wall, and two cottages from this period still survive.
