Description

The Old Cottage is a timber-framed and plastered building with a thatched roof, located in Brent Eleigh.

The building is one storey high with attics. It features casement windows and boarded doors. A gabled dormer is visible on the front, and an internal chimney stack is present with attached shafts. The interior retains exposed timber-framing.
