Description

Church Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on stone rubble footings, with stone rubble or brick stacks topped with 19th-century brick and Rolle Estate chimney pots. The roof is thatched, with slate used for the outshots. The house has a two-room plan with a central staircase and end stacks, and it probably has secondary outshots at the rear. The main house is two storeys high and features a symmetrical three-window front, with windows from the 19th and 20th centuries. The ground floor windows are larger than those on the first floor, which have thatch eyebrows above them. The central doorway has a 20th-century door and a semi-conical thatch hood. The roof is gable-ended at both ends. The interior has not been inspected.
