Description

Wharf Cottage is a house dating from the 17th to early 18th century, which was refronted in the 19th century. It features timber framing with brick infill on the first floor rear wall, while the remainder of the structure has been rebuilt in brick. The cottage has offset eaves and an old tile roof. The chimney on the right is partly made of thin brick, with a later brick chimney to the left. It is one storey and has an attic, comprising three bays. The ground floor has wooden casements with single horizontal glazing bars and flat 20th-century arches, with a three-light window to the left and a two-light window to the right. The attic includes two-light barred wooden casements, with one in a gabled eaves-line dormer on the left and two in dormer gables on the right. There are 19th to 20th-century four-panelled doors between the left bays and to the right, each with small gabled hoods featuring cusping. Additionally, there is a 19th to 20th-century single-storey brick extension to the right, along with a small gabled flint extension and a lean-to at the centre rear.
