Description

Two storey rendered cottage situated a short distance back within its plot on the eastern side of
Station Road. This building is difficult to age, but its form, scale, asymmetrical elevation and steeply
pitched roof all indicate building of a significant age. The small scale character of the building is
similar to other buildings within the village for example 16 and 19, Lower Street. The steep pitch of
the gable roof, now laid in plain clay tiles, may indicate that the building was originally thatched.
The irregular fenestration pattern and smallness of the opening which create a solid to void ratio all
suggest a building of historic interest. Despite alterations, the building is attractive and makes a
positive contribution to both the character and the appearance of the Conservation Area. Local Heritage Asset in conservation area (1).
