Description
Old Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has been altered in the 18th century and late 20th century. It features a combination of timber-frame construction with plaster infill and colourwashed brick, topped with a thatched roof. The building is 1½ storeys high and consists of three bays. The structure has been remodeled in all but the left bay during the 18th century, with a 20th-century timber-frame bay and an old brick and tile garage added to the right. A 20th-century porch made of old brick and tile has also been added to the right of the 17th-century bay. Each bay contains 2-light casements, with the left bay featuring 3-light casements on both floors. The roof is half-hipped to the right and hipped to the left. Inside, much of the frame is exposed throughout.
