Description
Garden Cottage is a house built around 1840 by John Dobson, with an extension added in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed from tooled squared stone with tooled-and-margined dressings and features a slate roof. The original house is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays. The central bay projects and contains an altered panelled door set beneath a flat-pointed head, which is surrounded by a chamfered surround, a stepped lintel, and a hoodmould. Above the door is a transomed window, and the gable is steeply coped with moulded kneelers and topped with a pineapple finial. The flanking bays each have two-light mullioned windows, and all windows are small-paned casements set in recessed chamfered surrounds. The end stacks are banded and corniced, featuring conjoined shafts. The left side of the building shows a first-floor small-paned casement, while an added bay on the right matches the original style.
