Description

Pump Green Cottage is a former farmhouse that was divided into two cottages during the 19th century and is now a single house. It dates from the early 17th century and 18th century, featuring two distinct building phases. The cottage is 1½ storeys high and constructed with a timber frame that is rendered. The south gable is made of 18th-century red brick, which has a string course and two blocked openings on the upper storey, and it incorporates a chimney stack that was rendered over in the mid-20th century. The roof is thatched. Inside, there is an internal chimney stack with a plain red brick shaft that has been tunnelled through on the ground floor. A small brick projection on the front of the house is the remains of a bake-oven. The front features a range of five mid-20th-century casement windows, with two replacing doors, and there are three eyebrow dormers. At the rear, there is a flat-roofed 20th-century extension.
