Description
Rupert Cottage, part of Rupert Place, is a timber-framed building dating to the 16th and 17th centuries. It has brick nogging and two storeys, with a 1 ½-storey extension to the left. The roof is covered with old tiles, and the building features large chimneys. The two-storey section has four small casement windows. A single-storey projecting wing on the right is constructed of flint with brick dressings and an old tiled roof, featuring Georgian Gothic windows with four-centred heads. Local tradition suggests the cottage was associated with Prince Rupert and served as his headquarters when attacking Phyllis Court.
