Description

Marlyn Cottage is a 17th century timber-framed house with three bays and one and a half storeys. The cottage features painted brick infill and is partially clad in brick. It has an old tile roof with three gabled dormers. There is a modern two-storey extension at the rear. The windows are casements, some of which are leaded, and there is a door on the left side. The right gable is tile hung. A stack of old thin bricks is located between the left-hand bays and at the rear of the right-hand bay.
