FIVE PICTURES: Old Cottage

This 17th or early 18th century cottage is in an isolated area known as Fernhill, at the northeast corner of the borough. The structural pattern is similar to many of Crawley's houses of that era, though: timber-framing hidden by ground-floor brickwork and first-floor tiles, and a tiled roof. A chimney rises at the west end from a foundation of local stone, quarried in Charlwood. The building is currently undergoing renovation.
