Description
Heath Cottage is a house dating from around 1700, with a possibly earlier rear section. The building features a red brick ground floor and a tile-hung first floor, topped with a plain tiled roof. It consists of two parallel ranges and stands two storeys high on a plinth, with a gabled roof that has stacks at the left end and centre right. There are three wooden casement windows on each floor and a boarded door located to the centre left. The rear wing is half-hipped with a slight gablet. Inside, the front range has a light scantling framed structure.
