Description
Trehurst Cottage is a cottage dating from the early 18th century, with a 19th-century addition that has been altered in the 20th century. It features plastered cob walls and a thatched roof that is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right. There is a brick stack at the gable end. The original plan likely consisted of two rooms, with a larger heated room on the right and a service room on the left. At the left end, there is a 19th-century outbuilding that has been converted to be part of the cottage. The exterior is two storeys high, with a regular two-window front featuring late 20th-century PVC two-light casements. A 20th-century plank door is located to the left of centre. There is also a single-storey converted outbuilding and garage set back from the left end. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey.
