Description
Brewery Cottage is a cottage with an attached former brewery, dating from the late 18th century. The north gable end is constructed of chalk block, while the walls are made of rubble stone. The building features a thatched roof, with brick stacks on the left gable and a 20th-century stack on the right gable. It is two storeys high and has two windows, which are three-light wooden casements set in original pegged wooden frames with leaded lights. The centre opening lights are made of cast iron, and there are wooden lintels above the ground floor. The front door, located on the right side, is a flush-panelled door with a wooden frame from the 19th century, accompanied by a very simple trellis porch.
The attached brewery on the right side has coursed rubble stone walls and a hipped slate roof. It is also two storeys tall and has three windows, which include two- and three-light wooden casements with lead lights, wooden cills, and stone lintels. There is a plank door with two leaves on the right side, featuring a stone lintel above it, and a two-leaf loft door above. The brewing machinery inside is intact and dates from the 19th century.
