Description
Roadside Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. A porch was added in the later 20th century.
The ground floor is constructed of brown brick in Flemish bond, while the upper floors are timber-framed, covered in weather-boarding on the north-west and north-east sides, and tile-hung on the south-east side. The cottage features a half-hipped tiled roof with a central ridge brick chimneystack.
The building is rectangular, two storeys high with attics, and consists of three bays. The entrance is located on the north-east side, with a chimneystack in the central bay and a staircase positioned behind it.
On the north-east or entrance front, there is a central first-floor casement window that lights the staircase and a ground-floor casement window for the sitting room. Much of the ground floor is hidden by a 20th-century brick porch with a hipped tiled roof, and the entrance is flanked by small windows. Both the north-west and south-east sides have a casement window on each floor. The ground floor window on the south-east side is a five-bay splayed casement window with a brick base and a hipped tiled roof. The south-west side is attached to Stream Cottage.
The interior, not inspected in 2015, includes a sitting room with an open fireplace and exposed ceiling beams. The first floor has two bedrooms, and there are two additional bedrooms in the attic.
