Hawthorn Cottage (see also
Image) is unusual. The original part (to the right) is mid 18th century with the main front on the right. In the early 19th century the house has been extended on the left with a roughly symmetrical front created - the original north end wall in rubblestone to the right and the extension's north wall in ashlar to the left. The attic window to the left is blind in a dummy wall to hide the extension's different roof pitch. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1283622
