Description
The Cottage is a 17th to 18th century timber-framed and plastered house, likely extended in the 18th to 19th century to create a range of cottages, which now serves as a single tenement. The building has one storey and attics, featuring casement windows. The roof is thatched and includes four dormer windows, with a large 20th century dormer at the north end.
