Description
Strawberry Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, possibly with earlier origins. It was altered in the early 19th century and has a small extension at the southwest. The building features a timber frame that is roughcast with a weatherboarded apron and has a steep thatched roof, which is hipped at the east end where it extends down over an outshut with lower eaves. There is a single-storey, weatherboarded, thatched extension at the southwest.
The house is one and a half storeys tall, with a three-cell plan and end chimneys, facing north, and includes an end outshut beyond the east chimney. An external gable chimney is located at the west. The front of the house has a gabled thatched porch, with two windows to the left and one to the right. The windows are two-light flush casements with a horizontal bar, and there are similar windows in three eyebrow dormers at the eaves. The 18th-century red brick chimneys add to the character of the building. The rear features three similar two-light flush casement windows made of cast iron with small panes and dripboards, along with three dormers.
