Description

Spice Cottage, formerly known as the Plantation Tea Company, is an early 19th-century sweet shop located on the south side of High Street in Ticehurst. The building has two storeys and features three windows. The ground floor is finished in painted brick, while the upper storey is tile hung, topped with a slate roof. The original glazing bars are missing, and there are two small modern shop fronts. Attached to the east is an 18th-century house, also two storeys, with two windows. Its ground floor is painted brick and the upper storey is weather-boarded, with a tiled roof and casement windows. The doorway of this house has a flat hood above it.
