Description

Itchen Cottage is a cottage that dates from the 17th century, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features part timber-frame construction that is encased in brick, along with a 19th and 20th-century wing made of knapped flint with brick dressings and a plain tile roof. The cottage is designed in a Gothic style and is 1½ storeys high with three bays, the left bay being a 20th-century addition.

There is a doorway located between the right and centre bays, which is set in a gabled brick porch that has a pointed arch and a bargeboard with a finial. Each bay has a single-storey hipped roof with canted bays that contain transomed 4-light windows. A string course runs at the head of the windows, and there is a brick band at the dormer sill level with brick dressing between the left and centre bays. The cottage also features a half-hipped brick dormer with a 2-light casement, along with a bargeboard and finial on the hip. The roof is half-hipped, with finials at either end of a wrought iron ridge piece.
