Hermits Cottage

Hermits Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century that has been altered over time. It features a timber frame with brick infill, and the front ground floor is constructed from 18th-century rubblestone with brick dressings, which is now mostly colourwashed and rendered. The rear ground floor is made of brick. The building consists of four bays and two storeys. To the left, there is a two-bay addition that includes two garage doors and gabled upper windows, topped with an old tile roof. The main cottage has a half-hipped thatch roof. On the right, there is a rubblestone lean-to addition with an old tile roof and a board door beneath a tiled hood. Most windows are two-light casements, except for the third bay from the left, which has a three-light window. The first floor features three two-light casements, and there is an early 17th-century oak mullioned three-light window, now blocked, to the left of the central first-floor window, which has ovolo mouldings. The cottage has a stack on the left and another stack between the right-hand bays.
