Description

The Cottage at Pollards Farm is a late medieval building that has been altered in the 17th century and more recently. It is two storeys high and consists of three bays. Originally, it had a two-bay hall to the west, but this area has now been floored across. The lower storey is constructed of 18th-century red brick, except at the west end where the original timber framing is still visible. The roof is hipped and covered with tiles, and the windows have been replaced with modern casements.
