Description
Adshead Cottage is an early 18th-century cottage with early 19th-century additions. It is built from English garden wall bond red brick on an ashlar plinth, topped with a Kerridge stone-slate roof, featuring a stone ridge and a brick chimney on one gable. The cottage is one storey high with an attic and has a three-bay front. The end bays contain two-light iron casements with lattice leaded glazing set under flat brick heads. The central gabled porch has a segmental-headed entrance on the left side and a four-board front door behind it. Inside, the layout consists of a three-room plan on the ground floor, with chamfered ceiling beams and some three-board doors.
