Description
Church Cottage is a large cottage built in 1729 using vitreous bricks, which incorporates elements from an earlier building. The structure features brick with blue headers, some timber-framing inside the service wing, and timber scantling in its outshot walls. The roof is covered with old plain tiles.
The cottage is L-shaped, with a service wing of 16th-century origin located beside the road. This wing has an outshot on the roadside that contains a door under a porch with a hipped dormer above. Adjacent to this is the gable end of an 18th-century house, which displays the date in the center and blank openings on either side, along with blue header diamond patterns above and below.
The front of the building is two stories tall with three bays. It features an 18th-century six-panelled door and a square fanlight with crossed glazing bars, all sheltered by a flat lead-roofed porch with glazed upper sides and a latticed front. Each side of the cottage has a three-light window with a segmental rubbed brick arch. There is a raised first-floor string course that rises in a triangle over the door. On the first floor, there are 18th-century two and three-light segmental casements and flush frame four-pane sashes. The gable ends have stacks.
Inside, the room at the road end contains a 16th-century moulded brick fireplace with a beam above that has Latin inscriptions dated 1589.
