Description
The Cottage is a house, likely from the 18th century, featuring two storeys and a three-cell plan. It is constructed with a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a pantiled roof that has 18th-century axial and gable chimneys made of red brick. The windows are small-pane casements from the 19th century, and the entrance door is a six-panelled design, also from the 19th century. At the back, there is a continuous outshut that is probably original. This building is included for its group value.
