Description

Meadow Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century, featuring a three-cell lobby entrance plan. It is two storeys high and has four windows. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with a concrete pantiled roof. An early 17th-century chimney made of red brick displays a saw-tooth pattern. The cottage has 20th-century casements and an entrance door topped with an open gabled torch. It underwent significant alterations and restoration around 1980 after a period of decay.
