Description
Oak Cottage is a house, probably dating from the 17th century. It has two storeys and a two-cell lobby-entrance plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof. There is an axial 17th-century chimney made of red brick, which has been painted, with the upper section rebuilt in the 19th or 20th century. The first storey features 19th-century small-pane casements, while the ground floor has mid-20th-century casements. There is a mid-20th-century lean-to porch with a pantiled roof at the lobby-entrance position, which includes a 20th-century boarded and battened door. To the right, there is a small thatched extension from the 18th or 19th century.
