Description
Garden Cottage is a house dated 1712 that has undergone many alterations, yet retains several original features. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with stone dressings and has two storeys with a two-unit plan. The house now faces south, but the original door and windows were located on the north side, where there are blocked openings, including a single surviving blocked two-light stone mullioned window. The current doorway is centrally positioned on the south elevation, having been relocated from the northeast angle. The existing door, set within a modern porch, has been cut through a moulded stone architrave. Flanking the door on each floor are three-light ovolo moulded mullioned windows. The roof features a single hipped gabled dormer. Above the door, there is a datestone with the initials S over RS. The gables are coped, and there are moulded stone gable stacks. A new extension wraps around the southeast angle of the house.
