Description
Burrow Cottage is a cottage dating from the early 18th century, with a late 20th-century addition. The building features mainly rendered walls, with exposed rubble at the bottom and likely cob above. It has a gable-ended thatch roof and a brick stack at the left gable end.
Originally, the cottage probably had a two-room plan, with larger heated rooms on the left and an entry into a smaller room on the right. The exterior is two storeys high and presents an asymmetrical front with two windows, featuring late 20th-century two and three-light casements in small openings. There is a late 20th-century plank door to the right, sheltered by a slate door hood, and a one-storey addition at the right-hand end.
Inside, the cottage has rough, insubstantial ceiling joists and an open fireplace with a plain wooden lintel.
