Description
Glen Cottage is a cottage dating from the 18th century, accompanied by an adjoining cob wall. The cottage features plastered cob on rubble footings, with a stone or cob stack topped with 19th century brick and a thatched roof. It is a one-room cottage with a stack that projects from the north-west gable end, and there is a single-storey 20th century extension to the left end.
The cottage has one window on the front, which is a 19th century two-light casement with glazing bars located to the left at first floor level, topped with a thatch eyebrow. To the right of the front is an 18th or 19th century plank door set in a plain solid frame. The roof is half-hipped to the left. The rear of the cottage has a two-window front with 19th and 20th century casements, both featuring glazing bars.
The adjoining boundary wall is made of plastered cob on rubble footings, capped with pitched pantiles, and includes a 19th century plank door with plain strap hinges. The wall extends north-west from the right front corner of the cottage to meet a similar wall belonging to The Old Smithy.
