The Old Cottage

The Old Cottage is a house built in the early 18th century, with alterations and extensions made in the mid-19th century. It features brick walls and a tiled roof. The central part of the building has slightly lower additions on each end, creating a symmetrical front facing northwest. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has three windows on the upper floor. The roof is half-hipped, and the lower part of the tile-hung gables, each with an attic window, meets the single slopes of the roof over the additions, which includes a hipped section. There is a central chimney stack. The walls are constructed in Flemish bond, with a plinth and remnants of cambered openings on the ground floor. The window openings were renewed in the mid-19th century, featuring rubbed flat arches and stone sills, with mid-19th century casements. A gabled brick porch with a boarded door is present at the front. The rear wall shows evidence of altered window placements, and there is a low wing on the south side, along with a 20th-century loggia with a hipped roof on the north side.
