Description

Although having undergone obvious modifications, including the addition of casement windows, this cottage is of special interest as it retains all of its historic internal features as well as thatch underneath the corrugated iron roof covering. A large hearth dominates the kitchen space which is accessed directly from the outside, whilst two smaller fireplaces occupy the rooms either side of the kitchen. The building is thought to date from the late-19th century and first appeared on the 1905 Ordnance Survey map. Listed status was conferred at the end of 2007. The condition of the building is showing signs of slow decay, however it would benefit from being safeguarded with all openings being blocked up to prevent vandalism.
