Description
The Harwell is a timber-framed and plastered cottage located on Spout Lane in Little Cornard. It primarily features 18th-century and later external elements. The cottage is believed to date back to 1620, a date that is scratched into the plaster on the gables of the dormers, which were added in the 20th century. The roof is tiled and includes two gabled dormers along with a central chimney stack. There is also an addition at the east end of the cottage that has a pantiled roof.
