Description
Box Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is constructed of coursed and squared rubble with dressed quoins and features a triple-Roman tile roof. The building has two gabled sash dormers in the roof, coped verges, and two brick ridge stacks. The symmetrical frontage consists of two storeys and an attic with five bays, each bay containing 2-light hollow moulded stone-mullioned windows, where each light has a 20th-century metal casement. There are weathered strings above the window heads. The central door opening is framed by a stopped ogee-moulded stone surround and features a six-panelled door, with the top four panels glazed. A wooden trellis porch with a tent hood shelters the entrance.
