Description
Penn Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage, altered in the 20th century. It is timber-framed with plastered walls and a thatched roof. The cottage has three bays facing southwest, with a central chimney stack. A slated lean-to extension from the 19th or early 20th century is located at the rear right, and a flat-roofed extension from the 20th century is located at the rear left. The cottage is single-storey and has two 20th-century casement windows. A plain boarded door provides access. The roof is hipped. The group value of the building lies in its contribution to the character of the area.
