Description

Beggars Batch is a cottage dating from the late 18th century, likely built on an earlier core. It is constructed from colourwashed rubble and features an unusual single Roman tile roof with a central brick stack. The building has two storeys and is adorned with sash windows that have glazing bars, although the glazing bars are missing from the right window on the ground floor. To the right of the cottage, there is a door opening with a plank door that includes two small glazed panels. Additionally, there is a single-storey lean-to outshut to the right.
