Description
Fitzgerald Cottage is a house that was formerly the service wing of Bredfield House. It dates back to the 17th century and features a timber frame with colour-washed render and a plain pantile roof. The building has two storeys and a basement.
On the entrance front, there is a 20th-century gabled porch on the right with a plank doorway. To the left of the porch, there is a basement window with two horizontal lights set in a projecting plinth. The ground floor includes a 2-light casement window on the right and a sash window with 5 x 4 panes on the left. Between these, there is a single-light casement window with 2 x 4 panes. On the first floor, there is a 3-light casement window on the right, a 2-light similar window on the left, and a single-light window in between. The roof features a single-flue chimney stack on the left and one of two flues to the right behind the ridge.
Adjoining the right side of the cottage is a single-storey addition that was formerly the servants' hall. This addition has a blocked doorway at the right of centre with a cambered head and a 2-light casement window immediately to the left. The right gable end is mostly obscured by this later addition, which has four sash windows divided by mullions, each with 3 x 4 panes and a hipped roof above.
The left end of the cottage has battered walling at the lower body and a projecting gabled end of a lean-to at the rear, which now features two first-floor windows with one and two casement lights. This gable end originally connected to the main body of Bredfield House, which has since been demolished. At the rear, there is a 19th-century lean-to with a pantile catslide roof that includes four sash windows, each with 4 x 4 panes.
