The Old Cottage

The Old Cottage is a house that dates back to the 17th century or earlier. It features a timber frame resting on a knapped flint sill, with the frame exposed and plastered infill panels. The roof is steep and covered with old red tiles. This 1 and a half-storey house has a three-cell internal-chimney plan and faces south, with its west gable positioned against the road. The chimney has two diagonally set square conjoined shafts, with a third shaft located a third of the way from the west end, and an added shaft on the east. There is an internal chimney on the east gable next to a brick gable parapet.

On the south side, there is a short single-storey extension that faces the road. The entrance features a battened door beneath a lean-to open timber porch. The house has two gabled dormers on the south side and three on the north side, along with two- and three-light casement windows. Additionally, there is a small roughcast porch on the north side with a hipped tile roof. The west gable is angled in relation to the house's axis, following the line of the road. The structure includes jowled posts and full-height studs.
