Description

Rock Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage constructed from ashlar red sandstone, featuring a Welsh slate roof and a central stone chimney. The building is two stories high with a three-bay front. At the right end, there is a projecting gabled porch that includes an iron small-pane casement window with intersecting tracery and four hinged panels, set under a segmental head. The remaining windows are similar, although some do not have the intersecting tracery. A modern door has been inserted in the right gable end. The interior has not been inspected.
