Description
Dean's Farm Cottage is a building that likely dates from the mid-18th century and features a front that belongs to a 17th-century structure. It is two storeys high and constructed of red brick, with a random flint band over the ground floor. The cottage has two ranges of windows, with three-light casements on the first floor that have wooden lintels, and two-light windows on the ground floor with glazing bars. There is a panel at the centre of the first floor. The central door is sheltered by an early 19th-century hipped gable wood trellis porch. Below the eaves, there is a brick block cornice. The roof is half-hipped and tiled, featuring an off-ridge cruciform chimney at the centre front, while the rear has a long catslide roof. Dean's Farm Cottage and Dean's Farm are connected to Star Road by a raised flint causeway.
