Description

Briar Cottage is an 18th-century cottage located on Church Lane in Kings Worthy. It is built from colourwashed brick and features a thatched roof. The cottage is 1½ storeys high and has two bays, with an additional outshot bay added to the left. The entrance includes a 20th-century glazed door situated under an open porch with a flat roof, positioned between the two main bays. On either side of the entrance, there are 20th-century two-light casement windows with blind boxes, and in the outshot bay, there are 20th-century French windows. On the first floor, above the windows, there are three 18th-century two-light casement windows. The roof is hipped and slopes down to the left, featuring decorated ridge stacks at both ends.
