Description

Catsford Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, which was refronted in the early 19th century. It has a gable end facing the road made of painted brick, with an external chimney stack that is likely from the late 17th century. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The building consists of two sections, with the part closest to the road featuring a front made of yellow stock brick. It is two storeys high with attics and has two ground floor three-light horizontal sash windows and three first floor segmental headed sash windows. There are also two tile-hung gabled dormers. The right part of the building is constructed in 18th century chequered red brick.
