Description

Oakdene is a cottage dating from the 18th century, though it may be a rebuilding of an earlier cottage. It features a thatched, gable-ended roof with end brick stacks and stands two storeys tall. The cottage has 19th and 20th century two-light casement windows and a 20th century porch. Its plan is L-shaped and it may have originally consisted of two cottages.
