Description

Gatehead Cottage is an early 18th-century house, believed to date around 1720. It is constructed of hammer-dressed watershot stone and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high. The ground floor includes windows with 2, 5, and 4 lights, while the first floor has 4, 3, and 4-light windows. All windows have double-chamfered cavetto-moulded mullions, except for one 3-light window that has flat-faced mullions and was added in the late 18th century. The cottage has plain stone eaves gutter brackets and gable chimney stacks, one of which has been rebuilt in brick. There are 2-light windows on the gables and a door with a square-cut surround. A blocked taking-in door on the right gable has a chamfered surround. The rear features 2 and 3-light windows similar to those at the front, with one window having a door inserted and another missing a mullion.
