Description
Perry's Cottage is an 18th-century house located on the south side of Avebury Green Street. It features a facade made of sarsen stone with a diaper brick design on a sarsen sill, topped by a thatched roof. The building is two storeys high with three bays. There is an off-centre six-panelled door beneath a tiled pent roof that connects to a three-light window in the right bay. To the left bay, there is a three-light stone-mullioned window from the 18th century, while the upper floor has two timber windows, one with three lights and another with two lights. The thatched roof has a half hip on the right side.
Attached to the right bay is an early 19th-century one-and-a-half storey half-hipped rear wing, along with a brick lean-to that spans the centre bay. In the 19th century, the house served as the workshop for a saddler and harness maker, which included a tan pit at the rear and a rope walk in front of the building. Harnesses were hung under the front pent roof.
