Description
This cottage is possibly older than the other cottages in the area - it has distinct Bakeresque, Arts and Crafts stylistic references. In particular, the very steep thatched roof is unique and key to the character of the cottage. Additionally, the location of the cottage along the end of a wooded road, and with a front lawn encircled by trees, gives it a sense of isolation.
