Description

No 1 Smithfield Road is an early 19th-century cottage, with its core likely dating back to the 17th century. It is a small, simple structure built of colourwashed rubble and features a tiled roof. The cottage is single-storeyed and has two casement windows with cambered heads. The plain doorway is fitted with a six-panelled door. A prominent feature of the building is the massive stepped stone chimney located on the right-hand gabled end, which has a tall brick stack.
