Forge Cottage.

Exterior: 2 storeys. Roof gabled at left end, left end gable tile-hung.
Asymmetrical 1:2 window front, the one window to the left end outshut. C20
timber stable door to the left of the main block. 2- and 3-light timber

A modest building externally but in an important position on Matfield Green.
