Description
Little Cottage is a small house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of brick with a flint plinth, topped with an old tile roof and features a brick chimney on the right side. The building is one storey with an attic and consists of two bays. On the ground floor, there are old two-light wooden casement windows with single horizontal glazing bars, set in pale red brick surrounds with gauged heads. The attic has similar, but later, windows in dormer gables. The original door, which has a moulded frame, is located at the right end near the chimney and is now enclosed in a 20th-century gabled brick porch. There is also a small later wing at the rear. Inside, there is slight timbering.
