Description

Pixie's Cottage is a detached cottage, possibly originally two cottages, dating from the 18th century. It features plastered cob walls and a thatched roof that is half hipped at the right end. The building is one storey with an attic and has brick stacks at both ends, as well as one located to the right of the centre. The ground floor includes two battened doors situated under rustic thatched porches, two casement windows with lead lights, and a canted bay window topped with a hipped tiled roof and similar casements. The attic contains three half dormers, each with similar casements. Additionally, there is a lean-to extension at the left end with a pantile roof and a single storey brick addition at the rear, also featuring a pantile roof.
