Description
Bend Cottage is a 17th-century cottage located on the west side of The Plain in Norton St. Philip. It features roughly coursed random rubble construction with a carved Doulting stone frontage and a stone slate gabled roof, which has a brick chimney stack at one end. The cottage is two storeys high and has a varied arrangement of windows. The central entrance is framed in stone and has a six-panel door, with the top four panels being glazed. To the right of the entrance, there are two two-light moulded stone mullion windows with two-pane 19th-century casements, while the other ground floor windows are from the 20th century. On the first floor, there are two three-light wooden casement windows with two-pane 19th-century designs under wooden lintels. The cottage is included in the listing primarily for its group value with the adjacent buildings on The Plain.
