2015: A Heritage Assest Assessment was prepared to accompany a palnning application for a small extension.The cottage is situated on an E/W axis set back from The Street. It is timber-framed with colour washed plaster and the roof is thatched with straw. There are 3 chimneys with gault brick shafts; an axial chimney at the W and E ends, the latter being external. The cottage has a three cell plan but was subdivided into 4 dwellings in at least the late 18th century. It is now a single dwelling but retains two entrance doors in the main S elevation. It had small, central, poorly constructed 19th single storey kitchen extension until the early 1980s. This collapsed and was replaced by a larger, single storey brick extension c.1991 by the present owners. The roof was re-thatched c.1984 and is due to be re-thatched in 2016 (S2).
