The Cottage is a 17th-century house located on Kennighall Road in Bressingham. It features a plastered timber-frame construction and a thatched roof with gabled ends. The building has one storey and an attic, with four modern three-light casement windows. There are three small gabled dormers from the late 19th century, each with casement windows. The Cottage has two doorways, one situated in front of the off-centre chimney stack, and there are end chimney stacks as well. Lean-to structures are present at each end and at the rear of the house.
