Late C16. Two storey and attic house with contemporary storeyed rectangular bay window; later subdivided into two dwellings; C18 rear wing. Major alterations in the C19 with a full height in-line addition to Cherry Tree Cottage next door. Major refeaturing and additions in the late C20. This house is shown on the 1840 Tithe map. This was a major late C16 house with four heated rooms, one of them an upper chamber. Only one of these, the kitchen, was in this house.  

Tudor Cottage forms the left hand half of the C16 house, up to, but not including, the main entrance and cross-passage. Single storey addition to left.  

Interior not inspected at resurvey, the building does not appear to have been altered since listing (1982). This house comprises the kitchen of the c1600 house and the probably C19 in-line addition of a second room with staircase.  

Included as a late C16 house which, despite changes, retains both character and features of special interest.  

Cherry Tree Cottage and Tudor Cottage Local limestone rubble walls, Welsh slate gabled roof with gabled dormers and modern brick stacks. Two storeys and attic. Main street elevation, from south-west (right) end, lean-to against main building, with modern panelled door to Cherry Tree Cottage; in front wall of main house, firstly and secondly a 2-light window to both ground and first floors and a small attic window to each gable; the windows in latter bay are set to east beyond roof stack to back-to-back hearth, to blocked doorway and possible joint in front wall. Thirdly, an arched stone doorway with straight edged jamb. Fourthly, and now Tudor Cottage, shallow rectangular storeyed bay window (see the Swan Inn, Llantwit Major); this has a modern 3-light window with lintel with scored voussoirs on ground and first floors with a small round headed single light C16 window in each return; small single light window to attic dormer. Fifthly, 2-light ground floor window and smaller 3-light first floor window, both with scratch voussoirs to their heads. All the larger windows are late C20 casements in altered openings and under timber lintels. Steeply pitched roof with three rebuilt stacks, left gable, cross-passage and central to Cherry Tree Cottage. Rear elevation not seen at resurvey.
