The cottage is believed to date back to the 15th or early 16th century and retains much of its original charm, including a plank and muntin screen and a partially smoke-blackened roof. 

During the mid-20th century, the building was divided into two separate dwellings but was then converted back into a single dwelling during the late-20th century.

Modern amenities include oil-fired central heating, a contemporary kitchen, and updated bathroom and shower rooms now adorn this period cottage.
