Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 5 Jan 2018
To be found in Breech Lane, just across the road from the parish church. The proportions - tall and narrow - are quite unusual in a weather-boarded cottage, and (along with the barge-boards at the gables) remind me somewhat of a railway signal-box (circa 1850, say). The cottage is extremely well-kept - not always the case with weather-boarded cottages. And while modern windows (double-glazed, I imagine) have been fitted, this has been done quite sensitively, without compromising the building's character.
