Description
The Little Cottage is a late 17th-century building that was originally an outbuilding and is now used as a residence. It is a single storey with attics, constructed of red brick. The roof is hipped and tiled, featuring two dormers on the south-west side and two on the south-east side. There are two casement windows on each of the south-west and south-east elevations, along with a simple doorcase. A chimneystack with a bread oven is present. Inside, the cottage has exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces.
