Description
Crooked Cottage is a 17th-century house with a three-cell lobby-entrance plan, featuring one storey and an attic. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof that has a central red brick chimney. There are 20th-century eyebrow casement dormers and small-pane casements. The entrance door is boarded. It is possible that the cottage originally had a loft above only one end cell. A diamond mullioned window is present in a side wall. The central room is heated by a single open fireplace, and there is a square structure at the ridge, now plastered over, which may have been a smoke-vent or the upper part of a timber chimney.
