Description
Ye Olde Cottage is a cottage that probably dates from the 18th century. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings and features a thatched roof with gables at each end. A large cob or stone chimney stack, topped with brick, projects from the right-hand (southern) gable. The cottage has two storeys and a regular two-window front with a central door. All the windows are 20th-century casements, and there are thatch eyebrows over the first-floor windows. The left-hand gable end indicates that the building once extended further north, suggesting it may have been part of another cottage or a farmhouse. The cottage is included for its group value.
