Description
Kew Cottage is a cottage from the early 18th century that was altered in the mid-19th century. It is built of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar and red brick dressings. The roof is made of pantiles, featuring ashlar coped gables and two brick gable stacks. The cottage has ashlar quoins and brick dentilated eaves. It is a three-bay, two-storey structure with a central doorway that has a 20th-century half-glazed door, flanked by plain sash windows. Above the doorway is a small off-centre fixed light with a wooden lintel, flanked by two plain two-light casements. To the right, there is a lower single-storey extension.
