Description
Maple Cottage and The Thatched Cottage is a house that has been divided into two dwellings. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century and has been extended. The structure features a timber frame with roughcast and some weatherboarding on the ground floor. It has a thatched roof and brick stacks. Originally, it had a lobby entrance plan and was one storey high, but the front entrance is now blocked with brick infill.
The windows include scattered timber casements, with three-light diamond panes in The Thatched Cottage and one and two-light lattice panes in Maple Cottage. Maple Cottage has been extended to the right, featuring a stack in the gable end wall, with wall plates visible in this gable. The entrance is located on the garden front. The Thatched Cottage has a half-hip at the end of the main range. There is a 19th-century cross wing extension built onto the left gable wall, which includes an entrance porch, a dormer, and a tiled roof. The interior has not been inspected.
