Description
Drury Cottage is an 18th or 19th century cottage, extended in the 20th century. It is timber-framed, with plaster rendering and a thatched roof.

The cottage is single-storey, featuring three 20th-century casement windows and a gabled, thatched porch, also from the 20th century. Some timber framing is visible internally, featuring straight bracing. The building is listed for group value.
