Description

Old Park Cottage is a detached house that was originally a pair of cottages, dating from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It features plastered cob walls and a hipped thatched roof with a brick stack at the center. The building has two storeys, with a glazed door at the front. On the ground floor, there are five casement windows with glazing bars, one of which has replaced a door. The first floor has four similar windows. At the rear, there is a 20th-century flat-roofed extension. Inside, the main ground floor rooms boast large open fireplaces with timber lintels and bread ovens.
