Description

Diamond Cottage is an 18th-century detached cottage that was enlarged in the 20th century. It has plastered cob walls set on a flint base and a hipped thatched roof with a brick stack at the left end. The building is one storey high with an attic. There are 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed extensions at the right end and at the rear, along with a conservatory at the left end. A part-glazed door is set within a 20th-century porch with a tiled lean-to roof. The ground floor has three casement windows with ornamental cast iron glazing, and the attic has three dormers with similar casements.
