Description
Egypt Cottage is a house that was originally three cottages, dating from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. It features a timber frame with color-washed brick infill and color-washed brick with flint bands, topped with a thatched roof. The structure consists of a two-bay 16th-century house with a 17th-century bay to the right and an 18th-century bay to the left. The left 16th-century bay has been refaced. The cottage is 1½ storeys high and has four bays set on a rubble plinth.
There is a 20th-century door to the right of the center, which is sheltered by a thatched gabled porch. To the left, the brickwork in the 16th-century bay has an offset above the plinth that steps up between the bays to sill height, featuring 19th-century two 2-light and a single casement window. To the right of the door, there is a blocked 2-mullioned hearthlight and a 19th-century 2-light casement window. The roof has four irregular eyebrow dormers with 2-light casements and is hipped with ridge brick stacks located at the right end and at the outside left end of the 16th-century building.
