Description
Church Cottage is a 17th-century lobby-entrance house that has been extended in the 20th century. It features a timber frame, is weatherboarded, and has a tiled roof. The building consists of four bays aligned approximately north-south, with an axial chimney stack located in the third bay from the north, which creates the lobby entrance. There is a 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey extension at the rear. The cottage stands two storeys high and has three 20th-century casement windows on each floor, along with a tiled lean-to porch. The roof is half-hipped at both ends.
