Description
Denver Cottage and Wishbone Ash is a farmhouse that has been converted into two cottages, likely built in the 18th century and modernized around 1970. The structure features plastered cob and rubble, with rubble stacks topped by 19th and 20th-century brick, and a thatched roof.
The building is a three-room block facing south, with Denver Cottage on the left (west) served by an axial stack and Wishbone Ash on the right (east) with an end stack. It is two storeys high and has a regular three-window front with 20th-century sashes that include glazing bars. The doors are positioned to the left and right of the center, with the right door featuring a 20th-century gabled porch. The roof is high and steeply pitched, with half-hips at each end.
The interior has been extensively modernized.
