Description

Cosycot is a cottage, likely dating from the early 19th century. It is built with whitewashed and rendered walls and has a thatched roof, hipped at the ends. A projecting brick stack is situated on the right end. The cottage follows a single-depth, two-room plan, with a larger, heated room to the right and a smaller, unheated service room to the left. A 20th-century single-story addition extends at right angles to the left end of the main range, and there is a 20th-century stack in the front left corner. The exterior presents an asymmetrical two-window front; a front door leads into the 20th-century addition, and another into the main range on the left. The first-floor windows are probably 20th-century timber casements with glazing bars, while the ground floor windows are 20th-century metal frame replacements. The interior was not inspected. Cosycot is located at the end of pedestrian Church Lane, set at a right angle to Bury, and forms part of a group of thatched cottages to the south of the churchyard.
