Description

Church View Cottage is a house that was originally built in the early to mid 17th century and has since been extended and altered in the 18th and 19th centuries, with further changes in the 20th century. The structure features a timber frame with roughcast panels and beaded surrounds, along with flint and brick additions at the rear. It has steeply pitched roofs covered with plain tiles, while the rear is finished with pantiles.

The cottage consists of two cells with an end stack and stands two storeys high. On the ground floor, there are two half-glazed, half-panelled doors at the centre, with a step up. To the right, there is a former shop door that is a half door, both framed with architraves and cornices. The outer flat-headed canted bay windows include dual margin glazed sashes on the left and three 20th-century lights on the right for the former shop. The first floor features two 3:3 pane architraved sash windows. The eaves are boxed, and the left end has a rebuilt internal cross axial stack.

At the rear, there is an 18th-century addition that is two storeys high and has a part-opening three-light casement window, along with a pantiled roof. Beyond this is a 19th-century flint addition with segmental-headed casements, an end stack, and a corrugated sheet roof. To the right at the rear, there is a lean-to with a slate roof. Inside, the cottage has altered close studding with reverse curved arched braces in the walls, and a first-floor doorway features indented bar stop chamfered jambs, with tension bracing visible in the added bay at the rear.
