Description
Well Cottage is a 17th-century house that features one-and-a-half storeys and a two-cell plan. The building is constructed with a timber frame and rendered exterior, topped with a thatched roof. Inside, there is an internal chimney stack with a plain rebuilt red brick shaft, which may indicate an original lobby entrance. The cottage has two-light and three-light 20th-century casement windows, along with two eyebrow dormers, all fitted with diamond-leaded panes. At the west end, there is a ledged and battened door leading into a single-storey extension.
