Description
Wattle Cottage is a building that dates back to the 17th century and is located on High Street in Kington. It consists of shops and dwellings, constructed from coursed rubble, roughcast, and stucco, topped with a Welsh slate roof, which has a 20th-century composite tile gable on the left side. The building has two storeys, an attic, and cellars, featuring a four-window range. On the right side, there are 20th-century two-over-two sash windows with a round-headed light in the gable above. The left side has 20th-century lights, including a light in the gable.
The early 20th-century shopfront on the right includes central part-glazed double doors set between plate-glass windows with canted returns, while the left side has an early 20th-century shopfront with a central half-glazed door flanked by plain sash windows. The right side has a leaded light, and the left side features rubble with roughcast on the first floor, along with a 20th-century entrance and casement window above.
At the rear, Wattle Cottage has late 17th-century timber-framing, a stone tile roof, and a central rubble ridge stack, with 20th-century doors and casements. Inside No. 21, there are exposed ceiling beams, some of which are chamfered, along with 17th-century timber-framing and collared trusses. The roof pitch has been altered to the northeast, and there is a 20th-century dogleg staircase with barley-sugar twist balusters.
