Crofter'S Cottage

Crofter's Cottage is an early 18th-century cottage located on the west side of High Street in Burton Latimer. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with some ironstone banding on the left gable end. The original thatched roof has been replaced with a 20th-century interlocking concrete tile roof, and there are brick stacks at both ends. The cottage is two storeys high and features a two-window range. The central entrance has a 20th-century door, flanked by two-light cross windows with 20th-century leaded glazing, all adorned with roughly hewn triple keystones. On the first floor, there are tall two-light casements, and a blocked window with a similar keystone is present on the left gable end. To the right, there is a small addition that presents a blank wall to the street. Inside, the right-hand ground-floor room contains an inglenook fireplace with a plain bressumer.
