Description

Dairy Cottage is a detached house dating from the late 18th century, with an extension to the north likely added in the early 19th century, and late 19th century additions at the rear. The walls are a mix of brick and plaster, finished with colourwash. The roof is thatched and hipped at the north end, featuring brick stacks at both ends and in the center. The building has one storey and attics, with the entrance located at the rear. The ground floor includes five casement windows with glazing bars, while the attic features two and a half dormers and one window under the eaves, all of which are casements with glazing bars.
