Description

Sweet Briar Cottage is a cottage dating from the 16th century and 20th century. It features a timber-frame structure with plaster infill and a brick wing. The building is L-shaped, with the original 16th-century section and a 20th-century crosswing at the left end. It has two bays and is one and a half storeys tall, with a two-storey crosswing. There are two small three-light leaded mullion windows and one leaded single light window. On the immediate level, there is a three-light leaded mullion window and three small eyebrow dormers with two-light casements. The 20th-century bay includes a tiled, bracketed wooden porch with stable-type doors and a two-light window on each floor. The roof is hipped and features a decorated ridge piece, with a stack located at the left end of the right bay and another at the outside left end of the 16th-century building. To the immediate left of the house, there is a large yew tree.
