Description
This is a large cottage, likely dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone, with the upper portion built of cob. The roof is thatched and features a stack at the lower gable end, with a brick stack incorporating offsets at the rear. The front of the cottage has three windows: two early 2-light casements with multiple glazing bars over a timber sash window with 8 over 8 panes to the left, and two 2-light casement windows from the 20th century to the right of a 20th-century door with a wooden hood.
