Description
The Old Forge is a timber-framed cottage dating from the 17th century and mid-19th century. It is a single-storey building with an attic, featuring two dormers at eaves level above three windows. The cottage is topped with thatch, and the frame is largely exposed at the rear and partially at the front, with infilling and other walling made of painted brickwork. The windows are casements. On the west side, there is a brick structure with a tiled roof that served as the forge.
