Description
Sumach Cottage is a house that dates from the 17th to early 18th century, with two bays on the right side and an extension of two bays to the left from the early 19th century. The right bays feature a timber frame with whitewashed brick and plaster infill, topped with a thatched roof and a brick chimney on the left. The left bays are constructed of whitewashed brick with some flint, covered by an old tile roof and a central brick chimney. The house is two storeys high. The right bays have 20th-century three-light barred wooden casements, while the left bays have paired wooden casements with single horizontal glazing bars and segmental heads on the first floor. There is a similar fixed window on the ground floor to the right and a single barred wooden light immediately to the left of the central flush-panelled door.
