Description
Forge Cottage is an estate cottage, originally a pair, built around 1850. It features a squared stone front with rubble walls and tooled dressings, topped by a Welsh slate roof with brick chimneys. The building is two storeys high with two wide bays.
The central projecting gabled porch includes two single-light windows and has a coped gable with moulded kneelers and pyramidal finials. There is a boarded door beneath a flattened triangular head on each side of the porch. The flanking bays contain two-light mullioned windows, with the upper windows located in half-dormers that are set forward on moulded corbels, which also have similarly styled gables. All openings have chamfered surrounds, and the windows are iron-latticed cross casements with hoodmoulds.
The end gables are coped on moulded kneelers and feature stepped and corniced stacks. There is a later rear extension that is not of interest. The building is marked as The Forge on the Ordnance Survey map.
