Description

Eagle Cottage is a detached house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with vitrified headers and features stone quoins and a tiled roof with gable end brick stacks. The building is two stories high and has three windows with sash frames. The front has a chamfered plinth made of chequered flint and stone, a central door with four fielded panels and an integral transom, and panelled reveals with a flat-arched stone head that includes a keystone. Each side of the door is a 12-pane flush sash within a moulded architrave, topped with a wedge lintel and keystone. A moulded string course runs above the lintels. On the first floor, there are 12-pane flush sashes on either side of a central single-light casement, and a modillioned cornice is present. The right side of the house has a single-light casement on the first floor, with a 20th-century extension attached. The left side features a single-light casement on the ground floor. The rear is made of chalk and flint and includes one attic raking dormer with a two-light casement. There is also a 19th-century extension at the back, which has casements and a Welsh slate roof. Inside, the house retains a good staircase with two turned balusters per open string tread, shaped cheeks, and a moulded handrail, along with window shutters and six-panelled doors.
