Description
Sideways Cottage is a 17th-century cottage located on the south side of Main Street in Maids Moreton. The building features rubble stone on the ground floor and a colourwashed gable, with a timber-framed first floor that has plastered panels. It has a thatch roof with brick stacks on the street gable and an external stack on the northwest side. The cottage is one-and-a-half storeys tall and consists of two bays.
On the northwest side, there are 19th-century casement windows to the left, a three-light window on the ground floor with paired thatch eyebrows above it, and a central board door set in a moulded wooden frame. The southeast side has a similar three-light casement window to the right and a paired casement window in the thatch above. The street gable features a ledged board door on the left and a rounded thatched projection, likely an oven, at the right corner.
