Church Cottage

Church Cottage is a house that dates from the 17th century or earlier, with brick casing added in the 18th century and a western end part built around 1960. It has a timber frame resting on a brick sill, which is exposed in the north gable of the crosswing. The house features red brick infill and casing, and it has steep old red tile roofs that are hipped at the junction of the wings.

The building is L-shaped and faces south, consisting of a main range that is one and a half storeys high and a low two-storey crosswing with a cellar that projects only to the north. There is an internal chimney at the junction of the wings, and a stack on the ridge to the west indicates the extent of the original house.

The south front includes four gabled dormers at the eaves and four ground floor casement windows that sit under segmental arches. There is also a single large gabled dormer on the north slope of the roof. The east side of the crosswing has two windows on each floor. The framing on the north end is exposed and features jowled posts, a cambered tie-beam, a collar, and a clasped-purlin roof, along with red brick infill.
