Description
East End Cottage is a cottage built between 1840 and 1850, constructed from ashlar stone with a Welsh slate roof, designed in the Tudor style. It is a single-storey building with three bays and a lower one-bay addition on the right side. The central entrance features a panelled door set within a later 19th-century wooden porch that has Gothic bargeboards. Each bay includes two-light mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, and each light has a six-pane casement. The gabled roof has ridged coping and kneelers, with tall, octagonal corniced stacks at each end.
The one-bay addition has a three-light mullioned window and a tall square corniced stack. Attached to the front left corner of the cottage is a garden wall that features a boarded door in a Tudor-arched surround, with the wall rising in three steps above it. The wall is topped with steeply-ridged coping.
