Description
Folly Hill Cottage is a mid-18th century and early 19th century cottage constructed of red brick with pantile roofs. It is a single-storey building with an attic, featuring four bays. The cottage has a single red brick ridge stack and a raised, coped left gable with tumbled-in brickwork and dentil eaves. The porch, made of brick, glass, and corrugated iron, is located on the left side. To the left of the porch, there is a single sash window, a single casement window, and further left, a single fixed light. Above these, there is a sloping dormer with a single Yorkshire sash window.
To the right of the original cottage, there is a two-storey, single-bay extension from the 19th century, which has a pyramidal roof and a single red brick stack at the front right. This extension features a single glazing bar Yorkshire sash window under a segmental arch, with another single Yorkshire sash window above it. Set back to the right is a single-storey outbuilding. The left gable of the original 18th-century structure has a blocked pointed-arched window opening.
