Garden Cottage With Yard Walls And Outbuildings To Rear

This is a late 18th-century garden cottage with associated yard walls and outbuildings. The cottage is constructed of brick in English Garden Wall bond, with cut stone dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof, except for stone slates on the porch. It is two storeys high and arranged symmetrically with three bays. A central gabled porch features a vertical-panelled door under a round arch, with small arched windows on each return. The flanking windows are Venetian style with Gothick casements. Circular windows with mouchette glazing are located on the first floor. All windows are set within chamfered stone surrounds. The cottage has stone gable copings and caps to the end stacks. The left return displays two arched casements on the ground floor, a nine-pane casement above, and tumbled brickwork in the gable, alongside a lower yard wall featuring pilasters and a cornice. The right return shows a single arched ground floor casement and a similar yard wall to the rear, which backs onto a pent-roofed outbuilding with three interlaced doors and a small Gothick casement. A two-storey, 20th-century extension to the rear left is not considered to be of special interest. The group value of the cottage, yard walls, and outbuildings is significant.
