Description

Wickham Cottage is a house dating from the 16th or 17th century, with later alterations. It is a small structure featuring a combination of plastered timber frame and brick, topped with a low slate roof. The building has two storeys. On the gable end facing the lane, there is one window with paired casements that include glazing bars. The south elevation features a central porch with latticework and three first-floor casements, with the end windows also having glazing bars. There is a bracketed, sloping plank between the floors. A modern lean-to addition has been added to the north side.
