Description
Nichol's Nymett Cottage is a small house, likely built in the 18th century, with 20th-century additions. It features rendered cob and stone rubble walls and a hipped thatched roof. There is a central axial rubble stack with a brick shaft. The original layout consisted of a two-room plan, each heated by the central stack, with a baffle entry at the front. In the 20th century, the cottage was extended by adding one room at each end and at the rear. The exterior is two storeys high, with a symmetrical front that has four windows, which are 20th-century two-light casements. The right-hand and left-hand windows are located in slightly recessed additions. A central 20th-century hipped thatched roof porch features a 20th-century panelled door. The interior was inaccessible during the survey.
