Description

Heather Cottage is a 17th-century cottage that has been altered in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with painted brick infill and a thatched roof. The building is 1½ storeys high and has three bays, with a low 20th-century addition at one end. The front of the cottage has a rounded hood on posts to the left of the center, above a plank door with an inserted light. Each bay contains a three-light leaded casement window, and there is a three-light leaded dormer above. The roof is half-hipped, and there are ridge stacks located between the bays.
