Description

The Nook is a cottage that possibly dates back to the 17th century. It is constructed from local stone rubble and features lime rendering on the south gable. The roof is half hipped and thatched, with central brick chimney stacks. The building is a single storey with an attic and has irregularly placed windows. It includes casement windows from various periods, with a two-light window on the east side that may be from the 17th or 18th century. There is a timber porch with a segmental metal-covered roof located in the center of the west side. The interior is not accessible.
