Description
Jennett's Cottage is a cottage believed to have been built for a gamekeeper on the Moreton House estate. It dates from the early 19th century and has late 20th-century additions. The structure is made of painted stone rubble and cob, topped with a thatched roof. A rendered chimney is barely visible above the thatch. The cottage has a two-room plan with a winder stair located in the rear wall and is one storey high with a garret. It features a cottage ornee style, with a central doorway flanked by a window on either side. There are two dormers in the thatch, with windows that have cranked heads. The thatch extends down over a verandah supported by rough tree trunks stripped of their bark. Opposite the door, the verandah projects forward to create a small porch with a gabled roof. The windows have late 20th-century plain wood casements. To the right, there is a late 20th-century wing designed in the same style as the original, and to the left, a late 20th-century conservatory.
The interior has not been inspected, but a previous description notes a tight winder stair from the main room, with a rebuilt open fire; the fireplace in the left room has a rough bressumer beam built in at a high level in the wall.
