Quince Cottage

Quince Cottage is an early 17th-century cottage with alterations from the 19th century. It is a rare local example of a vernacular cottage range. The cottage has whitewashed rubble walls, plain wooden bargeboards, and a gabled pantile roof with two end brick stacks and one ridge stack. It is likely originally a single-depth, through-passage, 3-room plan. The exterior is single-storey and has a four-window range. It is a long, low-lying building with paired 3-pane early 19th-century casement windows. A plank door is located in the western section, and there is a porch with wooden trellised supports and a lean-to pantile roof. The interior was not inspected. The cottage may have originally been two cottages.
