Description
Spot Farm Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is timber framed with plaster infilling, although part of the ground floor has been rebuilt in brick. The roof is covered with plain tiles and is hipped at the left end. The building has two storeys and consists of three timber framed bays. The applied studs are closely spaced and very thin, featuring straight tension braces.
On the right gable, there is a large projecting stack set on a stone base, and to the left of centre on the front elevation, there is a slender projecting 19th-century stack. The windows have an irregular arrangement, with one three-light leaded casement towards each end and a small two-light leaded casement in the centre. A 20th-century brick porch leads into a lean-to at the left end of the front elevation, and there is another 20th-century door located behind the right gable, which leads into a rear lean-to.
