Description
Poors Cottage is a building that dates from the 17th century, with 20th-century alterations. Originally four thatched almshouses, it has been converted into a single dwelling, which involved raising the eaves and extending the structure. The cottage is two storeys high and features a tile roof. The exterior showcases an exposed timber frame with brickwork infill and other walling. Modern casement windows and a half-glazed door have been added.
