Description
Mousehole Cottage is a small house dating from the late 17th century. It features rendered cob walls and a thatched roof, which is gabled at the right end and hipped at the left. The building has a projecting rubble stack at the right end with a brick shaft. The layout consists of a two-room plan, with a direct entry into a smaller unheated room on the left and a larger heated kitchen/living room on the right. The cottage is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with two windows, which are modern casements set in small openings. To the left of the centre, there is a modern plank door beneath a gabled door hood, with shallow sloping buttresses on either side. A modern lean-to is set back from the left-hand end. Inside, the right-hand room features an open fireplace with a timber lintel and an oven built into one side.
