Description
North Farm Cottage is a cottage with origins dating from the 17th century or earlier, but it has been significantly rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries, with some alterations made in the 20th century. The building features English-bond brickwork, along with some sections of rubble and flint, and has ashlar quoins. The roof is tiled and has a half-hipped right side, with brick stacks at the ends. The cottage is two storeys high and has an irregular arrangement of windows. Most of the windows are 20th-century two and three-light casements with glazing bars. The entrance includes a part-glazed door, also from the 20th century.
