Description
Wayside Cottage is a small house dating from the 17th to early 18th century, with alterations made in the late 18th to 19th centuries. It is constructed of thin brick and features a first floor band course and a thatched roof. The building has been modified with rebuilt chimneys on the left and between the right bays, which are also made of thin brick. The cottage is one storey high with an attic and consists of three bays. The ground floor has altered openings with irregular barred wooden casements, while a similar two-light casement is found in a gabled eaves-line dormer on the left, which has a tiled surround. There is a blocked doorway between the right bays that retains a tiled lean-to hood and now features paired casements. A similar hood is present over the door between the left bays. Additionally, there is a 20th-century single-storey flat-roofed extension to the right.
