Description
The Cottage at Wicken Road Farm is a small house dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with timber lintels over the openings and features a thatched roof. There is a thin brick stack between the left-hand bays and later brick stacks at the gable ends. The building has a T-plan layout, with the main range positioned at right angles to the road and a projection at the center rear.
The south front of the cottage has one-and-a-half storeys and three bays. The left-hand bay is an 18th-century addition, slightly set back, with more uniform coursing, a lower ridge, and higher eaves. The ground floor features 3-light barred casements in the left-hand and center bays, with a blocked opening in the right-hand bay. The first floor has two similar windows in the right-hand bays, and a 19th-century 3-light casement with single horizontal glazing bars in the left-hand bay. The door is set back between the left-hand bays and is framed with a moulded surround.
