Walnut Tree Cottage

Walnut Tree Cottage, formerly known as Higher Manor Farmhouse, is a house dating from the 17th century or early 18th century that has been significantly modified. It features a rendered rubble or cob exterior and a thatched roof. The building is a long block with a possible cross passage to the left of the ridge stack, and it may have originally been a long-house. The left end of the cottage has a lower hipped section that steps down to road level, while the rest of the structure is set higher above the road.

The cottage has two storeys and a variety of windows, primarily horizontal-bar casements. On the ground floor, there is a 2-light window in the projecting arm, a 20th-century door leading to a thatched hood, a 3-light window, a 2-light window likely where a former doorway was located with a projecting hood, and a 4-light window. The first floor features a 2:3:2:3 light arrangement that does not align with the windows below. A cropped stack, raised in brick, is located at the hipped right end, while the ridge stack is off-centre to the left. The lower unit includes wide garage doors, and the roof slopes down to the right, covering a pump. There are eight stone steps leading up to the door.

The left return of the building has a rounded corner with 1 over 1 two-light casements in projection and 3 over 3-light windows at the main hipped end. The interior does not retain any early features, and the roof has not been inspected. The projecting arm is reputed to have been used by Wesleyans as a meeting house at some point in its history.
