Description

April Cottage is a house from the early 18th century, constructed of brick that has been rendered and colorwashed, topped with a pantile roof. The building features a direct entry plan, although it may have been modified from a lobby entry. It is a single-storey structure with three cells. The entrance consists of a 20th-century boarded door set within a 20th-century open porch, flanked on the right by two 2-light casement windows, and on the left by a combination of a 2-light and a single-light casement window. The cottage has a dentilled brick eaves cornice, with end and axial stacks, and the raised coped gables display tumbled-in brickwork.
