Description
The Lion Cottage is a house dating from around 1500 that was restored in the late 20th century. It features a timber frame with exposed plaster infill and is underbuilt with red brick, with some areas rendered. The roof is plain tiled and hipped. The house has three framed bays and stands two storeys high, with rebuilt stacks on the left and rear left. On the first floor, there are two four-light wooden mullioned windows to the left and one three-light window to the right, along with two leaded wooden casements on the ground floor. A full-height central hall window has four lights, and there is a ribbed and studded door located to the centre right. Traces of flint footings can be seen in the centre of the ground floor. Inside, the hall is now open from the ground floor to the roof, featuring a crown post roof.
