Description
Castle Cottage is a house that was formerly a farmhouse, built in the mid-18th century. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a graduated stone slate roof and features a brick chimney stack. The building has three bays and is two stories high, with a single-depth layout and a shippon (a type of farm building) to the right. The central door is flanked by a four-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion window on the left, and to the right, there are two 2-light windows and one 3-light window. On the first floor, there are three windows: one 2-light and two 4-light. The house has two ridge chimney stacks. The shippon is characterized by quoins and vents in its gable.
