Description

St Hughs Cottage and The Cottage is an 18th-century timber-framed and plastered cottage that has one storey and attics, along with a two-storey addition at the south end. The north end has been refaced in brick and is colourwashed. The windows are mostly casements, with the older section featuring leaded lights. The roofs are tiled, with ridges at three different levels, and there are two gabled dormers on the front that have lattice leaded lights, while the south end has a half-hipped roof.
