Description

Oakdene Cottage is a cottage from the early 19th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It is built from coursed squared sandstone and features a plain tile roof with a brick gable stack on the south side. The cottage has two storeys and two bays. At the center, there is a gabled wooden porch with a glazed panelled door, which is flanked by a small square single-pane window on the north side and a 20th-century two-light casement window on the south side. Above the porch, there are two 19th-century horizontal sliding sash windows.
