Description
Church Cottage is a house that was converted into two cottages. It dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century, with an addition on the right side that is dated 1937 on the gable end. The building is timber framed and has roughcast rendering with a pantiled roof. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring four windows with 19th-century three-light casements, two boarded doors, and one mid-20th-century gabled dormer. There is an internal stack. The property was under renovation at the time of the survey.
