Description
Sandy Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a thatched roof. The building is a single storey with an attic and features a two-window range with mid 20th century two-light casements. There is a central doorway that has a boarded door, and two large mid 20th century eyebrow dormers are present on the roof. An internal stack is also part of the structure. At the rear, there is a lean-to made of brick and pantiles.
