Description

Rectory Cottage is a late 16th-century building that has undergone significant alterations. It features a rendered exterior and a double Roman tiled roof, with two brick diagonal chimneys on rubble stacks. The cottage is two storeys high and has three windows, which include a mix of modern casements and two four-light casements with chamfered mullions. The furthest east window on the ground floor is a three-light casement with segmental heads. To the right, there is a projecting gabled porch that contains a plank studded door with strap hinges. Inside, the layout includes a cross passage, stop-chamfered beams, and a spice cupboard in the parlour that has an arch-headed door to the right.
