Description
Sandfords Cottage is a former pair of cottages that has been converted into a single house. It dates from the early 19th century and has undergone slight alterations in the 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble and features a hipped thatch roof with a central brick chimney that was rebuilt in the 20th century. It is one and a half storeys high and consists of four bays, arranged symmetrically around the central stack. Each former cottage has a three-light casement window with 20th-century plate glazing in the inner bay and a leaded single casement in the outer bay. There are also two small single casement semi-dormers in the thatch and a central old board door. All lower openings of each cottage share a single wooden lintel, and some of the upper lights retain their leaded glazing. The rear openings of the cottage remain unaltered.
