Description

This building is a cottage located about 110 meters southeast of the Church of St John the Baptist. It was originally two dwellings and dates back to the 16th or 17th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. The structure is made of random rubble and features a double-Roman tile roof with brick stacks. It has a T-plan layout and stands two storeys high, comprising three bays. The cottage includes two and three-light stone-mullioned windows, with two of these on the first floor having been renewed. There are two door openings with freestone surrounds; one is blocked, while the other has a 19th-century half-glazed door. Inside, there are two fireplaces with broad wooden bressumers, exposed ceiling beams that are chamfered, and one ceiling beam that is moulded. At the time of the last survey in May 1985, the cottage was undergoing renovation.
