Description
Grain House Cottage is a detached cottage that dates from the 17th century with 20th-century alterations. The building features square-panelled timber-framing with both painted and unpainted brick infill, along with a brick plinth. There are painted brick extensions and a red tile roof, which was likely thatched in the past. A brick stack is present on the structure. The cottage has a rectangular plan and was originally designed with one room upstairs and one downstairs.
There is a single bay, two-storey 20th-century extension with a projecting stack on the left gable end, and a single-storey lean-to extension on the right gable end, which is not of special interest. The main body of the cottage is 1½-storeys high and features two 2-light wooden casements from the 20th century on the ground floor. A 20th-century three-light steel casement is located in the right gable end. The entrance includes a 19th-century plank door that is off-centre to the left, situated under a gabled canopy with a pantile roof, supported by decorative weather-boarded fronts on wooden posts. The interior has not been inspected, but it is reputed to contain moulded plasterwork that is likely now covered up.
