Description
The Old Cottage is a house, extended and divided, dating back to the 16th century, with an early 19th-century extension added to the left end. The right side of the house is timber framed and sits on a whitewashed brick plinth with render, featuring red brick infill above. The extension to the left is built of whitewashed brick, with a plain tiled roof and an oversailing hip to the left. The house is two storeys high. A rendered ridge stack is situated on the right side, with a square ridge stack at the rear.
The right side features three framed bays, containing three casement windows on the first floor with leaded glass. A tile pentice drip course runs above the ground floor windows. The extension has a plat band running along the ground floor, with a diagonal brick eaves course above. It has two cambered-head casement windows on the first floor and an angle bay window on braces to the ground floor, where the roof cuts into the plat band.
A stable door, situated under a gabled hood with elaborate foliage braces and floral carvings on the gable, is on the right side (Old Cottage). A six-panel door is set back to the left end, within a pentice porch (Hawthorn Cottage).
