Description
Stert Cottage is a house dating from the early 17th century, with 20th-century additions on the left and right. The cottage features a late 20th-century brick plinth in the center, large timber framing with rendered infill in the middle, and rendered brick on the left and right sides. The roof is thatched on the left and center sections, while the right side has a late 20th-century plain-tile roof that is half-hipped at the right end. There are rendered brick ridge stacks on the left and to the left of center. The building is a single storey with an attic and has a three-window range with irregular fenestration of 20th-century casements. A 20th-century door leads to a 20th-century porch at the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
