Description
Swan's Nest is a 17th-century timber-framed and plastered house that was later refronted in the late 18th or early 19th century with brick, now colourwashed. The house is two storeys high and has a four-window front. The upper-storey windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, set in flush cased frames. The ground-storey windows are double-hung sashes within two canted bays, and there is a doorway dating to the early 20th century. The roof is tiled. Rear additions were built around 1901.
