Description

Rock Cottage is a 18th-century cottage with rendered cob walls and a hipped thatched roof. It features rendered, likely brick, gable end stacks. The building has a double depth plan with an off-centre entrance hall and smaller rooms to the right. There are two principal rooms at the front, heated by gable end stacks, and smaller service rooms at the rear. The cottage is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with three windows. The first-floor windows are probably early 20th-century two-light casements with glazing bars, while the ground floor has two-light casements without glazing bars. To the right of the centre entrance, there is a 20th-century stable-type door beneath a thatched porch hood supported by timber posts. The interior was inaccessible during the survey, but the front rooms were observed to have insubstantial ceiling beams, and the right-hand room has an open fireplace with a plain wooden lintel.
