Description
The Old Cottage is a 17th-century cottage with a later extension added around 1983 on the right end. It is timber framed and sits on a rendered plinth, featuring brick infill and a rendered section in the center of the ground floor. The cottage has a plain tiled roof with a large offset end stack on the left side. It is a single storey building with an attic, which is accessed through a hipped roof dormer on the left. The ground floor has two casement windows, and there is a ribbed door on the left end, sheltered by a gabled weatherboard porch that is located in the re-entrant angle between the chimney and the house. At the rear, there are 20th-century catslides. Inside, some of the framing is visible, mainly in the ceiling frames.
