Description
Linnett's Cottage is a small cottage located approximately 100 meters southeast of St. Peters-on-the-Wall. It dates from the 18th or 19th century and is currently used as a bird observatory. The cottage is timber framed and weatherboarded, featuring a grey slate roof with outshots at both the rear and the front, to the right of the central gabled porch. It has a red brick chimney stack and a range of three vertically sliding sash windows with shutters. This building is a rare example of a marshman's cottage, likely built to provide accommodation for the seaman operating the semaphore signal station during the Napoleonic Wars.
