Description
Church Cottage is a detached house dating from the early 17th century, with alterations made in the late 19th century. It is constructed from uncoursed dressed limestone and features a tiled roof with coped verges and brick stacks. The building has a T-plan layout with a 19th-century extension to the rear right.
The house is two stories high with a cellar and has three windows across the front. To the left of the center, there is a 19th-century hipped porch with glazed doors. To the right, there are two 9-pane sash windows, and one 9-pane sash window is located to the left. The cellar on the left includes a 2-light hollow-chamfered mullioned window. On the first floor, there are three 9-pane sash windows.
The left side of the house features a 1-light casement window and a 2-light ovolo-mullioned window on the first floor, along with a single chamfered window in the attic. The right side has an external brick stack and the late 19th-century extension, which includes 12-pane sash windows. The rear of the house has an outshut with a horizontal sash window, and the rear wing includes an outshut and a 20th-century porch with casement windows.
Inside, the front range has a deeply chamfered beam, while the rear wing features chamfered beams with bar stops on both the ground and first floors, along with four-panelled doors and stairs located in the outshut of the rear wing.
