Description
The Old Cottage is a late 17th-century cottage with 19th-century extensions at the rear. It features a timber frame clad in white-washed brick and rubble, topped with a plain tiled roof that has a tile-hung gable. The building is oriented at right angles to the street and stands two storeys high on a rubblestone plinth, with a plat band over the ground floor that is broken in the center. There are stacks located at the rear. The cottage has attics beneath two 20th-century hip-roofed dormers. It includes two windows on both the first and ground floors, with the ground floor windows set under cambered heads. The central door is positioned beneath a flat hood, with a half-glazed door to the left. To the left, there is a lower hip-roofed range. Inside, some ceiling frames are visible.
