Description

Thorn Tree Cottage is a building that likely dates back to the 17th century. It has two storeys and features three windows. The structure is made of red brick and has a hipped thatched roof with a pentice at the back. The windows are casement style, and there is a brick doorway with a depressed pointed head. The westernmost window-bay was added at a later date.
