Description
Tey Cottage is a timber-framed and plastered building, likely dating from the 16th to 17th century, but featuring some 18th-century external characteristics. The structure consists of two blocks: the north-west end is two storeys high, while the south-east end has one storey with attics. The roof is thatched and includes two dormers on the front. The cottage has small casement windows and a modern boarded door, along with end chimney stacks.
