Description

Moss Cottage is a late medieval house, or a wing of a former house, that has been much altered and is now used as a garage. It features a timber frame with rendered cladding painted white and a red tile roof. The building has a rectangular two-unit plan with its gable facing the road, specifically the right-hand return wall facing Church Road. It stands two low storeys tall and has remnants of a plinth. The gabled facade has garage doors inserted at the ground floor, a very small horizontal-sliding window sash above, and a steeply-pitched roof.

The right-hand return wall has been modified at the ground floor with the addition of two large shop windows, replacing a central doorway and two small segmental-headed windows. However, at the first floor, it retains two small two-light horizontal-sliding sash windows and an eight-pane fixed window. The rear gable wall is tile-hung above the ground floor and features a small casement window with a triangular head.

Inside, visible timber framing includes short posts and studs, a mid-rail, a wallplate, and the upper half of a lateral partition with angle-braces. The interior has otherwise been altered, and the upper floor has been removed from the front bay.
