Description
Coopers Cottage is a small cottage dating back to the 17th century, with later modernisation around 1960. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with a cob or stone rubble stack topped with 20th-century brick and a thatched roof. Originally a one-room plan cottage facing east, it now includes a 20th-century lean-to kitchen extension at the right end. The cottage has two storeys and an irregular two-window front featuring 20th-century casement windows with glazing bars, including a 20th-century bow window. A 20th-century door is located behind a contemporary porch on the right side of the front elevation. Inside, a chamfered crossbeam is visible, along with an axial beam across the left bay, which is also chamfered with scroll stops. The fireplace has been blocked. The roof was not inspected when the survey was carried out. Coopers Cottage is situated on The Green, which contains a pleasing group of small, thatched-roofed houses.
