Description
Bishops Cottage is a cottage dating from around 1800. It is constructed of red brick in English bond, mostly painted, and features a thatched roof with a brick chimney. The building is one and a half storeys high and has two bays, with a 20th-century lean-to at the rear.
On the left side of the first bay, there is a board door topped by a segmental header brick arch, set within an early 20th-century open wooden porch that has a boarded roof. The cottage has two-light windows; the ground floor windows have 12-pane metal lights, while the first-floor windows are 12-pane wood casements. The roof is hipped with a central stack.
At the rear, the lean-to includes a board door, metal casements, and a roof made of corrugated asbestos cement sheets. The left side of the cottage has a blocked former doorway, now a window, also featuring a segmental header brick arch.
Inside, the cottage has two rooms divided by a large chimney breast. The ceiling features chamfered cross beams, with one beam having stepped cyma stops. There is a staircase against the rear wall, with a door made of two fielded panels, and an old door leading to a cupboard under the stairs. The roof structure includes collared trusses with pegged joints.
