Description
Herdsman's Cottage is a house built around 1840, constructed of brick in Flemish bond with a blue tile damp proof course and a slate roof. This single-storey cottage has an attic and features a cruciform plan typical of cottage orne style. The gables each have one bay with cusped bargeboards, which originally had hollow pendants at the sides and apex, although the pendants are now missing from the apexes of the north and south gables and from the right-hand side of the south gable. The windows are casements, and the north gable includes a single-storey timber canted bay window with a cornice and two lights facing forward. The front door, located to the right of the gable, has two raised and fielded panels and is sheltered by a timber lattice porch with a gable finial. The attic window in the west gable has been replaced in the 20th century. To the right of the cottage is a brick outhouse addition, and a 20th-century back door is set back to the right of the south gable. A central chimney stack features a stone cornice. The interior has not been inspected.
