The Cottage

The Cottage is a house dating from around 1600, with 19th and 20th-century extensions. It features a timber frame with diagonal braces, whitewashed brick infill, and a whitewashed rubble stone plinth. The right gable wall has been rebuilt in whitewashed brick and includes two buttresses. The front pitch is thatched, while the rest of the building has old tile roofs, with the front range hipped to the left and half-hipped to the right. A central chimney made of thin brick has a pilaster. The house is 1½ storeys tall and consists of two bays, with a later half-bay added to the left. The ground floor has an old leaded cross casement window to the left, and paired leaded casements under the thatch. The half-bay features a 20th-century gabled porch with a barred and glazed door, and there is a lean-to on the left. The rear includes a projecting 19th-century wing and a verandah over a bow window. Inside, there are stop-chamfered spine beams, a tie beam to the right of the chimney that arches over a door, and wind-braces.
