Description

Leopard Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the late 17th century and later. It features rubble-stone walls and a thatched roof with stone gable copings. There are 20th-century brick stacks at both the left and right gables. The cottage is 1½ storeys high and has three windows, which are three-light wooden casements with glazing bars, also from the 20th century. The lintels above the windows are made of stone and wood. Additionally, there are two small stone lights with straight chamfers and triangular heads set in a recessed panel. The front door, located to the left of center, has recessed panels and two top lights, dating from the 20th century. At the rear, there is a wing from the 19th century that includes three-light wooden casements. The cottage also displays a Sun Insurance mark and features a stable door.
