Description

This is a late 16th-century house, subsequently divided into two dwellings named Church Cottage and The Old House, with an 18th-century extension to the left and a 20th-century restoration. The house is timber framed, with a brick and stone plinth and brick cladding below the left wing; brick infill on the right wing; and tile hanging above. It has a plain tiled roof, hipped over the 18th-century extension to the left, with an off-centre end stack to the right and a rear ridge to the left. The building follows an L-shaped plan, with a projecting wing to the left and a lower, hip-roofed wing attached. It has two storeys, with an attic in the gable to the left. There are three casement windows on the first floor, centrally and to the right, along with one window in the hip-roofed wing to the left. A pent roof porch with a panelled, half-glazed, planked door sits in the re-entrant angle, and a flat porch hood is supported by brackets to the right (Church Cottage). A catslide runs along the rear, and there is a gable within the left-hand section.
