Description
Fuidge Cottage is a 19th-century cottage that was converted from a former granary around 1900. It features plastered walls, likely made of stone rubble with some cob, and has a brick stack and chimney shaft topped with a thatch roof. The cottage has a two-room layout facing northeast, with a central lobby entrance. A central axial stack serves the right room. There is no clear evidence of its previous use as a granary. The building is two storeys high and has a symmetrical front with three windows, which are casements from around 1900 and include glazing bars; the first-floor windows are half dormers. The central doorway has a plank door, and the roof is gable-ended. Inside, there are joinery details from around 1900, and the A-frame truss roof is believed to be older than this date.
