Description
Well Cottage is a house dating from the 16th century, with extensions from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The front right features a 16th-century bay, which is cased in 19th-century flint and brick, with the gable and right side finished in roughcast and whitewash. To the left, there is an 18th-century bay made of dark header brick with red dressings and a first-floor band course. The far left bay, added in the 20th century, is also brick and includes a band course. The building has old tile roofs and a brick chimney located to the left of the 18th-century bay. The two bays on the left are one storey with an attic, featuring three-light barred wooden casements, with those in the attic set in gabled eaves-line dormers. There is a similar two-light dormer above a lean-to porch at the angle with the right bay, and a blocked doorway aligned with the chimney. To the right, there is a two-storey gabled projection with an altered chimney and a slated garage. Inside the 16th-century bay, there is heavy timber framing with braces and a moulded spine beam with barred stops.
