Description
Avon Cottage is a 18th-century cottage constructed from coursed ironstone and limestone rubble, topped with a thatch roof and featuring flanking brick stacks. The building has two storeys and three bays. The entrance, located in the second bay from the left, includes a 20th-century gabled timber porch and a part-glazed plank door with a wooden lintel. On either side of the entrance are two-light casement windows, also with wooden lintels. The first floor has similar windows. The interior has not been inspected. It is noted that Avon Cottage was once part of a row of cottages, including Well Cottage, with the central portion having been demolished around 1970.
