Description

The Old Off-Licence is a cottage dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of brick with a thatched roof, and features a tile and weatherboard lean-to at one end. The building is two storeys high and has two bays, with a lean-to on the right-hand side. The front facade includes a central plank door that is sheltered by a pent-roofed hood supported by brackets. On either side of the door, there are three-light casement windows, all of which have cambered heads. The lean-to on the right has a two-light casement window, while the first floor features two-light casement windows. The roof is half-hipped at the right-hand end, and there is a stack located at the left-hand end of the building.
