The Keeper'S Cottage

The Keeper's Cottage is a cottage dating from the early to mid-17th century. It features square-panelled timber-framing with rendered or painted brick infill, and the gable ends are made of limestone rubble. The roof is covered with cedar shingles and has an ashlar stack. The main body of the cottage is rectangular in shape, and there is a 20th-century flat-roofed extension at the rear, which is not of special interest. The cottage is 1½ storeys high and has two 2-light casement windows with horizontal glazing bars on the ground floor. There is a plank door and another 2-light casement window with glazing bars located far left, which is sheltered by a lean-to porch. A gable-end stack is present on the right gable end, accompanied by a projecting semi-circular bread oven on one side. The gable ends are half-hipped. The interior has not been inspected. The cottage is part of the Witcombe Estate.
