Description

Peaceful Cottage is a 17th-century timber-framed building located at right angles to the road, with colour-washed brick infill and old tile roofs. It is two storeys high and consists of three bays, featuring casement windows and curved braces. The original colour-washed chimney stack is located on the north gable elevation and between the south bays. To the north-west, there is an 18th-century brick and stud two-storey range with an old tile roof and colour-washed brick. To the south-east, there is a one-bay, two-storey flint range with brick dressings, cogged eaves, and an old tile roof, dating from the early 19th century.
