Description
Glen Cottage is likely an 18th-century cottage. It is timber-framed with plaster rendering, and has a thatched roof. There is no chimney stack visible from the road. The cottage is a single storey with attics. It has a small, fixed window with glazing bars on the right and left, each covered by a pentice board. A central vertically boarded door is sheltered by a slanting canopy supported by brackets. A rear left extension contains a vertically boarded door and a matching window.
