Description
No. 26 is a cottage built in the early 19th century, featuring a rendered and whitewashed exterior with a double Roman clay tile roof set between coped gables. The building is two stories high and has one bay. The ground floor includes an early 20th-century shop window, alongside a late 20th-century glazed door with a fanlight above it to the left. On the upper floor, there is a small three-light beaded and architraved mullioned window, which has small casements inserted.
Attached to the east gable is a village shelter and seat, characterized by stone ashlar wing walls with oak corner posts, a framework, and flat shaped balustrading beneath a hipped roof covered in cedar shingles. This structure was erected in 1939 to commemorate the life of Sir Matthew Nathan, the village historian, and is reputedly designed by Sir Herbert Baker. Both the cottage and the shelter contribute to the overall character of the street scene in the center of the village.
