Description

Laundry Cottage is a house that was formerly used as a laundry, built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of red brick with some dressed coursed rubble on the projecting wing and features a hipped pantile roof. The building has a single projecting rendered stack on the left gable and a rendered ridge stack. It displays dentil eaves and is designed in an L-plan, consisting of two storeys and two bays, with a projecting two-storey single bay wing on the right.

The front façade, from left to right, includes a single 20th-century glazing bar casement window, a doorway with a 20th-century door, two glazing bar Yorkshire sash windows, and another single 20th-century glazing bar casement. On the upper floor, there are three glazing bar Yorkshire sash windows and a single 20th-century casement. The projecting wing features a doorway with a wooden door and two slit ventilators above in the gable wall, while the west wall has a single slit ventilator. To the left, there is a small brick and pantile lean-to that encases the base of the projecting stack. At the rear, there is a later single-storey brick and pantile extension.
