Description
Church Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage with an L-shaped plan and one-and-a-half storeys. It is constructed of clay lump and rendered externally, topped with a thatched roof. The building features an internal chimney stack with two circular shafts made of ornately-moulded white brick. There are various two-light casement windows on each storey, with slight eyebrows in the thatch above the upper windows. The cottage has two plank doors. Although it is said to have been divided into two homes, it was apparently built as a single house. The cottage is designed in a traditional style and is included for its group value with the nearby church.
