Description
The Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that was extended in the 18th century and again in the 1950s. It features a timber frame with brick infill and extensions, topped with a shingle roof. The original structure consists of two bays, with 18th-century stacks added to each end, and two 20th-century bays added to the right. The front has a half storey and is four bays wide. There is a 20th-century planked door at the left end of the right frame bay. Each bay contains 19th-century two-light casement windows, with similar windows in the 20th-century bays. Above the windows, there are 19th-century two-light casements in eyebrow dormers, as well as in the left bay of the 20th century. The roof is hipped, featuring a stack on the left hip and another at the right of the original party wall.
