Description

No. 8 is a cottage, likely built in the 18th century, constructed from local stone rubble with Ham stone dressings. It features a thatched roof that extends between the abutment and the coped west gable, along with a brick chimney stack at one end. The cottage is one storey high with an attic and has an irregular arrangement of two bays. The windows include two- and three-light casements with flat gauged stone arches above the lower windows. There is a central boarded door located in a later timber and thatched porch, and the upper windows are set into the thatch. The interior has not been seen.

The front boundary wall is made of cut and squared stone with flat stone copings, standing about 1.5 metres high. It begins at the west gable and curves around the front of the cottage, serving as an important visual feature in a significant group of buildings in the centre of the village.
