Description
The Cottage is an early 19th-century pair of lodge-type buildings, with an adjoining cottage incorporated into the northern building. It is two stories high and constructed of flint with red brick dressings, topped with pantile roofs. The isolated building to the south is used as a store and features a small arched window on the first floor, along with a central door flanked by small arched windows on each side. The cottage has a slightly higher roof that is partly hipped. There is a short wall, approximately 6 feet high, to the west.
