Description
Wisteria Cottage is a cottage that dates from the 17th century but has been altered in the 18th and 20th centuries. It features a timber frame that has been rebuilt in brick, with a colourwashed finish and bands of brick and flint. The thatched roof is half-hipped and has a stack located between the two far bays. The cottage has three bays and is one and a half storeys tall. There is a 20th-century outshot porch on the far bay, which includes a planked 'rustic' door. The centre bay has a 20th-century three-light casement window, while the road end bay has a pair of two-light casements and a high brick plinth. Above the two bays closer to the road, there is a 20th-century three-light casement window set in an eyebrow dormer.
