Preston Cottage

Preston Cottage is a house that was formerly a small farmhouse, built in the 18th century and modernised around 1970. It features plastered cob on rubble footings, with stone rubble stacks topped with 20th-century brick, and a thatch roof. The house has a two-room layout with a lobby entrance, facing southeast, and likely has a secondary outshot on the left (southwest) end. The right room has a projecting end stack, while the left room contains an axial stack. There is a 20th-century service extension at the rear. The cottage is two storeys high with an irregular two-window front, featuring all 20th-century casements with glazing bars, including a window in the outshot. The first-floor windows have low curving eyebrows above them. The roughly central doorway now has a 20th-century door and porch, which has a hipped thatch roof. The roof is gable-ended to the right and hipped to the left, extending continuously over the outshot. The interior displays plain carpentry details where exposed, with the beams being roughly finished. The roof was not inspected. The building is shown as "Prestons" on the Ordnance Survey map.
