Description
Bucks Head Cottage comprises two cottages, likely built in stages between the late 16th and 17th centuries as a single dwelling. The building is one storey high with attics. It has a timber frame covered in plaster. The thatched roof features axial and gable chimneys constructed from red brick. Windows are small-pane casements, and there are boarded entrance doors to each cottage. A short hipped range to the left and a gabled section projecting forward at the front are believed to be 17th-century extensions. The interior remains unexamined.
