Description
Fisher Cottage is probably an early 19th-century building, originally two small cottages that have since been combined into one. The walls are plastered cob on rubble footings, with brick and rubble stacks and a thatched roof made of wheat reed. The building has a two-room plan; the north-west cottage faces north-east and has a rear lateral stack. The south-east cottage faces south-east and has an axial stack set within the cob party wall separating the two. The north-west cottage has a two-window front with late 19th-century casement windows with glazing bars, and a door to the left. The roof is hipped on the right side and half-hipped on the left. The south-east end of the building has a single window and a rear door; the first floor has an early 19th-century three-light casement window with small rectangular panes of leaded glass. Internally, the carpentry is plain. The north-west cottage was formerly connected at first-floor level to Hare Cottage.
