Description
Mussett Cottage is a mid-18th century cottage with rendered walls and a thatched roof. The front, facing north, has two storeys and features two windows, along with a single-storey wing on the east side that also has two windows. The roof is hipped, and the eaves are lowered above the wing, which includes an outshot. The ground-floor windows are modern casements from the 20th century. There is a 20th-century thatched porch, and the older doorway is located on the east side, where the end of the wing is finished with vertical boarding.
