Description
Pear Tree Cottage is a mid-18th century house located on the south side of Ecton Church Way. The building is constructed of squared coursed lias stone and brick, with a 20th-century concrete tile roof. Originally a two-unit plan structure, it now has a three-window front with casement windows featuring glazing bars, all set under wooden lintels. Ashlar gable parapets and kneelers are present, along with brick stacks at each end. The right-hand gable was rebuilt in brick, likely in the early 19th century. The interior has not been inspected, and access is via an entrance located in a 19th-century extension to the rear.
