Description
Barrack Cottage is a range of cottages that have been converted into one dwelling. It dates from the 17th century and features a timber frame with 18th-century brick and flint cladding. The building has an L-shaped plan, with an 18th-century wing made of flint and brick. It has a thatched roof and is one storey high with an attic, displaying a fairly regular arrangement of windows. The roof has varying levels, including half-hips and gables, a catslide, and a small section of tiling with three hipped tiled dormers. The flint walls are accented with brick dressings, and there are some rubbed flat arches over openings that are now filled, as well as cambered arches over most of the small openings. The structure includes some buttresses and shows signs of several alterations. The windows are casements, and the doorways are plain.
