Description
Lavinia Cottage, dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, is a pair of two-storey cottages constructed of cob and stone, with thatched roofs. The cottages feature two- and three-light wooden casement windows. The thatch is “eyebrowed” over some of the first-floor windows, creating a slightly curved appearance. They have plain cottage doors.
