Description

The Old Cottage is a 15th-century timber-framed house. The first floor projects beyond the ground floor on curved brackets, with the ground floor walls filled with brick and the first floor with plaster. The cottage is two storeys high and has one window. It now has modern casement windows. On the south side, a room has been added to the first floor, supported by props and faced with imitation timbering.
