The Little Cottage

II

Small cottage. Late C18. Rendered and whitewashed timber-frame, weather-boarded to rear gable. Corrugated sheet roof and brick central ridge stack. Small 2-unit plan of about 5m x 3m only. Single storey and attic. Gable facing. 2-light casement to ground floor with door to right and another 2-light casement above. 2-light casement on left side. On right side a small lean-to extension with a stack. Various casements and door to rear. INTERIOR. Bridging beam visible in the main room with joists in the kitchen behind where there is a tiny winder stair. Some framing visible on stair and in attic. Plank doors.
This is an unusual survival of a particularly small cottage and its position on the edge of a green suggests it may originally have been a squatter's cottage.
