Description
Beehive Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century. It features rendered cob walls and a thatched roof, with a brick chimney. The building is single storey and has a simple two-room layout with an end chimney, remaining largely unaltered. The entrance has a ledged door, and there are casement windows with glazing bars. The main room shows traces of a large open fireplace, which has since been built up.
