Description
Church Cottage is a house from the 17th century that was remodeled in the 20th century. It has a rendered front, while the rest is made of brick and limestone rubble. The roof is half-hipped and thatched, with an end stack made of stone finished in brick. The building has a two-unit plan and is one storey with an attic, featuring a three-window range. The windows are 20th-century casements and there are half-dormer casements as well. A 20th-century porch is present, along with a small one-storey extension from the 19th century on the right side. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest. The cottage is included for its group value.
