Description

Church End Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th to 17th century, with 20th-century repairs. It has a timber frame with brick infill, and the upper storey features panels of thin brick, some arranged in a herringbone pattern. The rear wall has been rebuilt, rendered, and whitewashed. The roof is covered with old tiles and is half-hipped to the left, while the chimney is located to the right of the centre, with the lower part made of thin brick and the top rebuilt. The building is in an L-plan shape with a gabled cross wing on the right side. It has one storey and an attic, comprising three full bays and a chimney bay. The windows are irregular 20th-century leaded casements, with those in the upper storey of the left bays consisting of four lights in gabled eaves-line dormers that rest on 17th-century shaped wooden brackets. The chimney bay features a small semi-circular oven projection and an old two-light leaded casement window to the right. There is a 20th-century door in the right bay. The left gable includes an old three-light window with diamond mullions. Inside, there are stop-chamfered spine beams and diagonal wind-braces.
