Description
Nook Cottage is a house that consists of two sections, likely built in the early 16th century for the southern part and a late 16th to early 17th century cross-wing to the north. The structure is timber framed and plastered, with roofs covered in corrugated iron. The south range is 1 and a half storeys tall and features one raking dormer and a boarded half-door set within a simple gabled open porch. The north range is two storeys with an attic, and it includes a glazed entrance door to the south within an open porch, as well as a boarded door on the side wall. The cottage has various casement windows and two internal stacks located within the south range, with the smaller stack being a later addition. Inside, there is exposed studding, and the earlier range contains a blocked diamond-mullioned window that seems to have been added later.
