Description
Grove Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 19th century and was modernised around 1980. It is constructed of plastered cob on rubble footings, with brick stacks and a thatched roof. The cottage has three rooms and faces southeast, away from the road. There is a lateral stack at the rear of the right room and an axial stack in the left room. The front features a symmetrical arrangement of three windows, which are modern PVC windows from around 1980, along with a central door and a 20th-century gabled porch that has a thatched roof. The first-floor windows are half dormers, with thatch rising in low pitch gables above them. The roof is half-hipped at each end. Inside, the right room has an exposed 19th-century brick fireplace with a plain oak lintel, which includes a cloam oven. Other carpentry details from the 19th century are roughly finished.
