Description
Speedwell Cottage is a late 18th-century building that may have originally been two cottages but is now a single dwelling. The exterior is rendered and whitewashed, featuring a thatched roof on the left side and a tiled roof on the right. The cottage has two storeys and two bays, with two-light casements that include glazing bars. A central thatched porch leads to a panelled door. Inside, there are exposed chamfered beams, adding to the character of the home.
