Description
Place Farm Cottage is a house dating from the 16th to 17th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with a thatched roof and stands at one and a half storeys. The main range of the house features a small forward addition, with the main roof extending over it. The cottage has 20th-century casement windows, some of which are the standard single-paned type, and includes one flat-roofed dormer. The entrance is through a mid-20th-century boarded door. There are two external gable stacks, with the right stack being the earlier of the two; the left stack has two offsets and an axial shaft. To the right, there is a one-storey addition that is also plastered and has a steeply-pitched roof clad in corrugated asbestos. The interior has not been examined.
