Description
Stratfords Cottage is a small house dating from the 16th to 17th century. It has a timber frame with whitewashed herringbone brick infill and an end wall made of whitewashed rubble stone, featuring a timber-framed gable. The roof is half-hipped and thatched, with a central chimney stack that has an offset head and thin bricks at the base. The cottage is one-and-a-half storeys tall and has three irregular bays: a horizontal sliding sash window on the left side of the ground floor, two paired barred casements on the right, and a three-light casement window in the thatch. There is a central modern door. To the right, there is an extension that was formerly a barn, constructed of whitewashed rubble stone, with a half-hipped thatched roof and an external stack on the right side. This extension is one storey high and features two paired barred casements with timber lintels.
