Description
Keeper's Cottage is a 17th-century building that features a combination of timber framing and limewashed stone rubble, topped with a thatched roof. The roof is half hipped towards the roadside and gabled at the rear, with a central ridge stone stack that has a renewed brick top. Originally, it was a range of two cottages, but it now includes a modern two-bay extension on the southeast side. The timber framing is visible on the northwest end and the northern front of the first bay. All the windows have been replaced with modern two-light casements that feature leaded diamond glazing. A rubble stone bread oven extends from the southwest front, and there is a modern glazed door facing the road on the northern side.
