Description
Well Cottage is a former pair of cottages that has been converted into a single dwelling, likely dating from the 17th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, with the plaster finished to resemble ashlar. It has a roof covered with modern concrete pantiles and stands two storeys high. The cottage features a two-window range, primarily consisting of 2-light small pane casements. There are two doorways, each with a boarded door; the left-hand doorway includes a modern wooden porch. An internal stack is present within the structure.
