Description
The Cottage is likely a 17th-century building. It is constructed of red brick and stands two storeys high with attic space. The roof is tiled, with a half-hip design and two gabled dormers. A wooden eaves cornice, decorated with modillion details, runs around the building. There are three casement windows, each with a dripstone moulding above and small, square leaded panes. A 19th-century porch is attached to the front, featuring a shaped Dutch gable that contains a cartouche displaying the crest of the Toke family, who were formerly associated with Godinton Park.
