Eastern Cottage with Lower Hill (not listed). Located on the lane leading south-east from the green, evidence suggests this slate roofed and rendered building originated in the early part of the 19th century and was extended beyond the left-hand chimneystack, to its present size, early in the 20th. Its simple elongated form, painted walls, mostly flush-framed, multi-paned, timber casements and modest porch (albeit now enclosed) blend well with the characteristics of the older village buildings, while its slated roof is typical of its age. Until the middle of the 19th century at least, it shared its slightly detached location with what appears on the Tithe Map to be a pair of farmsteads on the opposite side of the lane.
