Garden Cottage

SK 80 SE MANTON STOCKS HILL (West Side)

4/86 Garden Cottage (Previously listed as Gardener's Cottage) 14.6.54 II

House, dated 1712, and though much altered, many of its original features survive. Coursed rubble with dressings. 2 storeys, 2 unit plan - the orientation is now to the south but the door and windows have been moved from the north side of the house, where the blocked-up openings, and a single surviving blocked 2-light stone mullioned window may be seen. Now the doorway is in the centre of the south elevation (formerly in the NE angle). The existing door, in a modern porch, has been cut through a moulded stone architrave. To either side of the door, on each floor, a 3-light ovolo moulded mullioned window. Single hipped gabled dormer in roof. Datestone and initials S over RS above door. Coped gables and moulded stone gable stacks. New extension is wrapped round SE angle.
