Description
Goblin Cottage is a cottage dating from the 17th to early 18th century. It features a timber frame with small diagonal braces and brick infill, sitting on a rubble stone and brick plinth, with a patch of rubble stone on the right gable. The cottage has a thatched roof and a brick chimney on the right side. It is one storey with an attic and consists of two bays. The windows are leaded casements, including a three-light window on the ground floor with a strip of diamond glazing above a smaller right-hand window, and a small two-light window in the thatch to the right. There is also a three-light leaded casement in the first floor of the left gable. At the rear, there is a small extension. Inside, the cottage features a spine beam dated 1724, old board doors, and an original spiral staircase aligned with the chimney.
