Description
The Cottage, including The Den, is a cottage that dates from the 17th century but was refronted in the 18th century. It features a timber frame with brick encasing and flint additions, and the front is rendered. The building has a slate roof and consists of a three-bay 17th-century structure with a two-bay 18th-century addition to the left, along with a 19th-century lean-to added to it.
It is two stories high with a five-bay front. The entrance is a 20th-century planked door located in a gabled brick porch in the second bay from the right, with a single light window to the right. Each side of the porch has a three-light segmental headed casement window. There is a blocked single light window at the left end of the 17th-century part, with a similar three-light casement window next to it. The left bay features a 19th-century door with a single light beside it. On the first floor, above the door, there are two-light casements, and above the other windows, there are three-light casements. All windows have 20th-century leaded lights. The roof is hipped to the left, with ridge stacks at each end of the ridge and at the left end of the 17th-century building.
