Periwick Cottage

Periwick Cottage is an early 18th-century cottage, largely re-windowed in the 20th century. It is located on The Street, Plaxtol. The cottage is built of Kentish ragstone rubble with stone galleting and red brick dressings. The roof is half-hipped and covered in peg tiles, with tiled gables and a square brick chimneystack to the south.

The cottage is two storeys and has attics in the gable end, with two windows visible from the front. It has a two-bay end chimney stack plan. Most of the windows are 20th-century two- or three-light casements, designed to resemble earlier styles, with red brick dressings. A single window on the right side of the first floor is from the 19th century. The ground floor windows have cambered heads. A central doorcase features a cambered surround and a 20th-century plank door. A deep plinth is marked by a row of bricks below the ground floor windows.

The south side of the cottage has two small 20th-century windows in the attic, one casement window to the first floor, and a small lean-to addition constructed of matching materials, likely dating from the early 19th century. The rear has a catslide roof and a 20th-century central extension. The interior was not inspected, but it is likely to contain an open fireplace on the south side.
