Church Cottage

Church Cottage is an 18th-century house with additions dating from around 1900 by Leonard Stokes. It is constructed of red brick and flint, with brick dressings to the rear, and has an old tile roof; the roof is hipped to the right, with a lean-to extending outwards, and two ridge stacks positioned off-centre to the left and right. A later cross wing is set to the right, featuring a three-light casement window within a tile-hung gable end, and has an old tile roof with catslides over a verandah to the left and a porch to the right, as well as a stack with a flat-roofed dormer in its return front. There are two 20th-century hipped dormers with three-light casement windows to the west. The house is L-shaped, with two storeys and a one-storey, attic addition. The front has four first-floor two-light casement windows, a five-light ground-floor casement off-centre to the left, a central two-light segmental-headed casement, a four-light casement off-centre to the right with a segmental head over the two left-hand lights, and a small 20th-century casement to the far right. A 20th-century half-glazed door is set within a gabled porch between the first and second windows from the right. The left-hand cross wing has a four-light casement, with a six-panelled door set back in a porch to the right. The author Kenneth Grahame lived at the property during the 1920s.
