Description

The Cottage is a house that has been converted into two cottages, dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is 1½ storeys tall with attics and features three windows. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof that includes an eyebrow casement dormer. There are axial and gable chimneys made of red brick. The windows are small-pane casements, and the entrance doors are 19th-century boarded and battened.
