Description
No 3 The Drive is a cottage dating from the mid 18th century. It is constructed of rendered brick and cob, featuring a brick gable and a tiled roof that has replaced the original thatch. The building is single storey with an attic and consists of three bays. There is a central living bay with a stack positioned axially, an inner room located at the rear, and an entrance to a service room at the north end. The entrance has a boarded door, and there are 20th-century paned timber windows along with one flat-roofed dormer on the front. The roof is half-hipped and has a brick stack with pots. This cottage is included for its group value.
