Description
Bennetts Grove is a cottage dating from the 17th century, with a 20th-century extension on the left side. It features a timber frame that is underbuilt in whitewashed brick on a sandstone plinth. The frame is exposed above, with whitewashed brick infill and whitewashed brick extensions that are tile hung on the first floor. The roofs are plain tiled. The building has a two-bay end chimney plan, extended to the left and positioned at right angles to the road.
It stands two storeys tall, with a tension brace to the first floor on the left and a massive offset rubblestone stack on the right. There are two leaded casement windows on the first floor and one window on the ground floor to the right. The left gable end has one window on each floor. The entrance door is located to the left of centre and features a glazed port-hole with a four-centre arched head, alongside a further door in the extension. At the rear, there is a pentice catslide roof with two hipped-roof dormers.
