Description
Craddin Cottage is a house dating from the mid-18th century, built of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof featuring gable copings and moulded kneelers. It has two ashlar stacks, one of which is partially obscured by a later stack. The building is two storeys high, with a central Tudor arched doorway. To the left of the doorway, there is a three-light window, and to the right, a two-light window, both of which are double chamfered. On the first floor, there are two four-light windows with recessed mullions. The rear of the cottage has 19th-century first-floor windows, while the ground floor at the back is set into the earth. There are later additions to both the left and right sides of the cottage.
