Description
Star Cottage is a 16th century or earlier timber-framed building that has been refaced with weatherboarding. The first floor of the east and west fronts originally extended out over the ends of the floor joists and brackets, but the west side has been altered and is now underbuilt. The cottage features a steeply-pitched hipped tiled roof and is two storeys high, with two casement windows.
