Description
Primrose Cottage is an 18th-century cottage that features a timber frame and rendered exterior. It has a half-hipped thatched roof with chimneys on both the right and left sides. The cottage is one storey with an attic, and the roof slopes up over the attic windows. The south front has a central door flanked by two windows on either side, along with four casement windows on the first floor, all with leaded lights. There are later additions to the east of the cottage that are not of special interest.
