Description

Church Cottage is a small house with origins dating back to the 18th century or earlier, featuring remodelling from the 19th century. The building is colourwashed and rendered, likely constructed from cob and stone rubble, and has a slate roof that is gabled at both ends, with a right end stack and an axial stack. The plan is probably a single depth arrangement with two rooms.

The exterior is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with two windows. There are two parallel front doors, each with flat corrugated canopies. On the first floor, the right window is a 19th-century oriel supported by moulded timber brackets, featuring a section of timbering below a three-light timber casement with glazing bars. The ground floor has a three-light casement window on the right, likely from the 18th century, with square leaded panes. The left window on the first floor is similar but has some leaded panes missing. The other ground floor window is a three-light 19th-century casement with eight panes per light. The interior has not been inspected but may contain features of interest. The cottage has group value with the parish church.
