Description
Church Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the mid to late 17th century. It features square-panelled timber framing with rendered and painted brick infill, as well as painted brick and squared and dressed stone. The cottage has a thatched roof with a brick stack and a rectangular plan. There are 20th-century flat-roofed extensions to the south and west that are not of special interest. The cottage is 1½ storeys high and has a single two-light wooden casement window and one fixed 12-pane window, both with shutters, on the timber-framed wall facing the path to the church. The timber framing is interrupted by a stone and brick-built stack at the west gable end, with a two-light casement window to the right of the stack at first floor level. The brick gable end facing the churchyard has a segmental-headed two-light casement window on the ground floor, with a similar window above. Access to the cottage is now via the 20th-century extension. The gable end facing the churchyard has a half-hipped roof and a gable-end stack. The interior has not been inspected.
