Description
Keepers Cottage is a large cottage that may contain remnants of a 17th-century manor house, with alterations made in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of brick with a tile-hung gable and features an old plain tile roof. It has two storeys and an attic, arranged in three bays with smoke and passage bays between them. The front of the cottage has a plank door to the left of the center, accompanied by a light. To the right of the center is a smoke bay with two-light casements. The other bays feature a three-light segmental head casement, with three-light casements above. There is a central 20th-century two-light flat-roofed dormer. The roof is half-hipped and has a ridge stack to the right of the center, which is clad in slate.
