Description

Church Cottage is a former pair of cottages that has been converted into a single dwelling. It dates from the mid to late 17th century and features a timber frame with plastering and a thatched roof. The building is two storeys tall with an attic and has a two-window range with three-light casements. The doorway is asymmetrical and has a boarded door, while the gables are adorned with scalloped bargeboards. There is an internal stack, and the attic window on the right-hand gable has square leaded panes. A mid-20th century extension has been added to the rear.
