Description
Talbot Cottage is a 17th-century house that was extended in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with roughcast and some brick casing, topped by a thatched roof. The building has a two-cell lobby entry plan and stands two storeys high. The entrance is located to the left of the centre and has a recessed boarded door. There are two-light metal frame casements and a central axial ridge stack. To the left, there is a one-storey, one-bay 20th-century extension made of roughcast brick and pantiles. Inside, there is an oven beneath the stairs behind the stack, stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams, arched braces in the walling, jowled posts, and cambered tie beams.
