Why it mattered
Brown's Cottage — Annestown matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: An appealing, modest-scale house, built as one of a pair (with 22814005/WD-25-14-05), which has been well restored to present an early aspect, with replacement fittings installed in keeping with the original integrity of the design. The house, together with the second in the pair, forms a picturesque feature in the village, the gabled dormer windows adding variety to the roofline. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
