Description
The Pink Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century, constructed from rough rendered rubble stone and topped with a thatched roof. It features a ridge stack and a stack at the north end. The building is one and a half storeys high. The east front includes an eyebrow dormer on the right side, which has a 2-light cyma-moulded recessed mullion window. On the ground floor, there is a 20th-century 3-light mullion window and two original 3-light mullion windows flanking a door that leads into a stone-tiled porch. All windows are recessed cyma-moulded and have hoodmoulds. The south end of the cottage has 20th-century mullion windows with hoodmoulds, with one 3-light window on each floor. At the rear, there are two eyebrow dormers—one with casements and one with a 20th-century mullion window—along with a ground floor door and a 3-light ovolo-moulded mullion window that also features a hoodmould. Inside, the cottage has heavy beams and joists in the south end, along with two fireplaces that have timber lintels.
