Description
The Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of brick, flint, and rendered clay lump, topped with a thatched roof. The building has one storey and a dormer attic, featuring a central door flanked by casement windows on either side. There are two eaves dormers with slate roofs and original casements. The roof is gabled, and there is an internal end stack on the left side. The front of the building was rebuilt in the 20th century in brick and render to the right of the door, where it is now adjacent to another property.
