Description
This is an early 19th century cottage located on the west side of London Road. It is built of painted brick with a Welsh slate roof. The cottage has two storeys and originally had two flush windows with segmental brick arches over them, featuring hung sashes with glazing bars. There are three windows on the ground floor and one in a single-storey extension to the left, which has a pantile roof. The front door consists of six fielded panels, topped by a rectangular fanlight. Brick stacks are located at both gable ends.
