Description
Chantry Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the early 17th century, with a possible earlier core. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone walls and has a thatched roof with stone gable copings. Brick stacks are located at the left-hand gable and at the ridge, right of centre, and are of 20th-century origin. The cottage is one-and-a-half storeys high, with three windows: two of 3 lights and one of 2 lights, featuring hollow-chamfered stone mullions and separate labels over the ground floor. The windows have iron casements and 20th-century metal casements with lead lights. A central front door is a plank door studded with strap hinges, and is sheltered by a 20th-century thatch porch canopy supported by two wooden posts. The interior is likely of historic interest, although access was not obtained.
