Description
Plough Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century that has been altered. It features whitewashed render over a timber frame, with a thatched roof on the left-hand bays and a tiled roof on the right. There are brick stacks on the left gable and at the rear of the right-hand bay. The building is two storeys high with an attic and consists of three bays, with the right-hand bay gabled towards the street. On the ground floor, there are canted bay windows with barred sashes in the centre of the left-hand section and the right-hand bay. The first floor has paired barred 19th-century wooden casements in each bay, and there are also casements in the attic gable on the right. A 20th-century door is located between the right-hand bays, flanked by single casements.
