Description
Bowling Green Cottage is a former farmhouse dating from the early 17th century. It is constructed with a timber frame and rendered exterior, topped with a thatched roof. The building has a two-cell layout with a lobby entry, and it stands two storeys tall with an attic. The cottage features 20th-century small-paned casement windows and a mid-20th-century gabled porch with a boarded door. The stack has an axial shaft, with the lower part made of narrow brick. There are one-storey lean-to additions on the left gable end and at the rear.
Inside, the cottage has a three-bay frame with the studs plastered over. The ground floor rooms contain axial floorbeams that have ogee stop-chamfers and open fireplaces with original lintels. One of the upper ceilings features plain joists set flat, and there is a newel stair. The roof is constructed with clasped purlins.
