Description
Woolpack Cottage is a cottage dating from the early 17th century that was modernised in 1981. It is one and a half storeys high and is positioned sideways to the road. The cottage is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a pantiled roof and featuring an internal chimney stack. On the south side, there are late 20th-century windows and a door, along with one large dormer with a sloping roof. Attached to the gable end on the east side is a single-storey extension with a slate roof, which has an entrance door flanked by a small-paned window on each side.
