Description

The Walnuts is a cottage dating from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It is constructed of clay lump with a pebbledash render and features a thatched roof. The building has a two-cell plan and a facade with two bays across two storeys. On the ground floor, there is a 19th-century three-light casement window on the left and a 20th-century window on the right. An off-centre 20th-century timber porch leads to the front door. The first floor has two 19th-century casement windows. A central axial stack is present. The cottage is included for its group value.
