Description

Gaffers Cottage is a cottage that has been converted from a stable block, dating from the 18th century, with the possibility of an earlier core. It is built of red brick and features a pantile roof. The cottage has one and a half storeys and includes 20th-century windows, along with three gabled dormers. The east gable is parapeted and has octagonal moulded brick finials. There is an axial chimney stack and two large segmental-headed door openings in the south wall. This building is included for its group value with the nearby barn.
