Description

Summer Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century. It features cob walls and a thatched roof, with brick stacks. The building is one storey high with attics. There are later extensions at the rear made of brick and cob, topped with corrugated iron roofs. The windows are casement style with cast iron lights. At the time of the survey, the cottage was derelict.
