Description
The Cottage is a pair of cottages built around 1817, with some 20th-century alterations. The structure is made of red and brown brick and features a pantile roof that is hipped to the north, with a single gable and ridge stacks, as well as decorated eaves. It has two storeys and a four-bay front, along with a 20th-century bay to the north. There are two doorways with segmental heads and plank doors positioned side-by-side, flanked by single two-light sliding sash windows on both sides, also with segmental heads. In the 20th-century bay, there is a two-light sliding sash window with a wooden lintel to the right, and above it are two two-light sliding sash windows, with a single two-light sliding sash window to the right in the same bay, all featuring wooden lintels.
