Description
The Barn Cottage is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century. It is constructed of brick, whitewashed to the front, with a first-floor band course. The left gable features a timber truss, and the roof is thatched, with brick chimneys at the eaves. The house is of two bays and one and a half storeys. It has paired wooden casement windows, with first-floor windows set within the thatched roof. A central early 19th-century flush-panelled door is set within a wooden frame and has a small gabled hood supported on shaped brackets. The thatch extends over a weatherboard barn to the right, the ground floor of which is now incorporated into the house and has three 20th-century wooden windows.
