Description
Nutcombe Cottage is a cottage built around 1700, located to the southwest of Nutcombe Manor. It features red brick construction on a stone plinth, with the brick mostly laid in Flemish bond. The roof is made of bitumen-painted slate and has gabled ends, with brick stacks at both ends.
The cottage has a single depth, two-room plan with a central entrance. The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows. There is a plank front door to the left of centre, which has strap hinges and is sheltered by a flat porch canopy supported by timber posts. The first floor has three 18th-century casement windows with square leaded panes, while the ground floor has two casement windows that are likely 20th-century copies.
Although the interior was not inspected, the cottage is important to the setting of Nutcombe Manor and serves as an example of early brick construction in the region.
