Description
Fingest Cottage, located to the south-west of Fingest House, is a late 18th-century cottage that has been altered in the 20th century. The front is constructed of knapped flint, featuring brick quoins and a band course at first floor level. It has two blind roundels with alternating brick and unknapped flint keystone surrounds. The rear walls are made of whitewashed brick. The cottage has a hipped tile roof and a brick chimney on the right side. It is one storey with an attic and features 20th-century double-fronted fenestration, including paired leaded casements flanking a half-glazed door in a gabled timber porch, as well as a paired leaded casement in a central gabled semi-dormer. The front wall of the cottage was originally symmetrical with the wall to the right of the gate piers.
