Description
This is a 17th-century red brick cottage located behind Quebec House to the north in Westerham. The building has two storeys and features two windows. It has a high-pitched tiled roof with an end chimney on the left. There are pointed niches in the walls, which are said to have been used for charcoal fires to warm espaliered peach trees. The cottage has 19th-century casement windows, including one in a Gothic style on the east wall. It was later converted into a coachhouse, which includes double doors on the left. Inside, there is a stout timber roof truss with tie beams and butt purlins, a large open fireplace with a bread oven, old floor bricks, and weatherboarded inner partitions.
