Castle Cottage

Castle Cottage is a house and outbuilding dating from around the late 17th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. The structure is timber-framed with plastered wattle infilling and extended in local sandstone rubble. It features a steeply pitched asbestos tile roof with gabled ends and a stone rubble gable-end stack topped with a red brick shaft.

The building has a small one-room plan with the gable-end stack located on the right. An outbuilding was added on the left, which has an open ground floor at the rear; the loft above extends the attic accommodation of the house.

The exterior consists of one storey and an attic. The right side has timber box-framing with large square plastered panels and a later casement window, while the outbuilding on the left has a blind stone rubble front wall. At the rear, the outbuilding on the right is open, with re-used timber-framing visible above the eaves, and there is a later outshut on the left in front of the timber-framing, along with a central raking dormer. A later outshut also exists on the gable end around the stack.

Inside, the house features chamfered floor beams with hollow-step or cyma stops and broad joists, along with plank doors. The attic includes a fireplace with a simple chimneypiece and a 19th-century iron grate.
