Description

Mile End Cottage is a house that likely dates from the 18th century, with a 20th-century extension. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, featuring a stack made of stone rubble or brick with a plastered brick top. The roof is thatched, with red tiles on the outshot and slate on the 20th-century kitchen. The cottage has a three-room plan and faces southeast, with an axial stack located between the center and the left (southwestern) end rooms. The right end has a 20th-century kitchen outshot, while the left end includes a storage outshot. The main house is two storeys high and has a regular but not symmetrical three-window front, which consists of 19th and 20th-century casements with glazing bars. There are thatch eyebrows over the first-floor windows, including a seemingly blocked window on the first floor to the left. To the right of center is a late 19th to early 20th-century part-glazed and panelled door, which is accompanied by a contemporary gabled porch with a tile roof and trellis sides. The roof is hipped at each end. The interior was not available for inspection at the time of the survey.
