Description
Wiltshire Cottage is likely a 16th-century building that has undergone alterations. It is constructed of brick with a gabled roof covered in old tiles, and incorporates timber framing with brick infill. The cottage is two storeys high. A chimney is located on the ridge towards the left centre, and another is on the right. Most windows are 19th-century casements, and the fenestration is irregular. Some timber framing is visible in the north wall, and some is exposed internally. An inspection of the interior was not possible at the time of survey.
