Description

Apple Tree Cottage is a detached house, likely built in the 18th century. It features plastered cob walls and a thatched roof, with one brick stack at the left end and another near the center. The house has two storeys. The main entrance is located at the rear left end and consists of a part-glazed panelled door that is sheltered by a thatched hood supported on brackets. Near the right end, there is a stable door also under a similar hood. To the right of these entrances are garage doors. Both the ground and first floors have four casement windows with glazing bars.
