Description

Kay's Cottage is a farmhouse dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, with some 19th-century alterations. It is constructed of flint, sarsen, and rubble, topped with a tiled roof. The building is two stories high and has three bays, with a three-bay return on the left that forms No. 27. It is likely that the original 17th-century house was raised to two stories in the 18th century. The entrance to No. 27 is through a pitched side porch, while No. 29 has its door in the third bay, accessed via a 19th-century gabled porch. The original windows were stone mullioned with hood moulds, but these have been largely altered and replaced with timber casements. The eaves feature brick dentils. The roof is hipped on the left and half-hipped on the right, with a chimney stack located between the second and third bays, as well as at the gable end of the left wing. The right gable has a blocked first-floor window and three blind oculi. There are lean-tos at the rear.
