Description
Walker’s Cottage is a late 16th-century cottage that is timber framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. The building is one storey high with attics and consists of three bays, featuring a central original red brick chimney stack that has been partly rebuilt. There is a range of three 20th-century casement windows and one gabled dormer. At the south end, there is a two-storey extension added in the 20th century. Inside, the heavy timber frame is partly concealed.
