Description
Wheelwright’s Cottage is a house dating back to the 16th century, with later alterations made in the 19th century.

The house comprises a 16th-century lobby entry range and a projecting, gabled wing added in the 19th century. It has two storeys and a garret, with stacks positioned centrally to the left and right. The windows are set irregularly, with a single, 12-pane sash window on the left side and two wooden casement windows on each floor. A boarded door is located centrally to the left.
