Description

Snowdrop Cottage is a 18th-century cottage dated 1789, constructed of red brick with a hipped old tile roof. It features a central ridge stack and an off-centre ridge stack to the north. The cottage is two storeys high. On the east front, there are four first-floor 2-light segmental headed casements and three ground-floor 3-light 20th-century casements. A boarded door is located between the first and second windows from the right, and it is sheltered by a 20th-century gabled timber porch. The cottage is included for its group value.
