Blythe Cottage

Blythe Cottage is a house built around 1800, with later extensions from the 19th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish garden wall bond and features a clay plain tile roof with gabled ends and a brick dentil eaves course. The building has brick stacks at the gable ends and laterally. The plan consists of two rooms: a parlour on the right with a gable-end fireplace and a kitchen on the left with a fireplace at the back, accessed through a central doorway at the front. A later out-shut was added to the rear in the 19th century.

The cottage is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical two-window west front. The 19th-century wooden mullion windows have three lights and glazing bars, with iron casements; the ground floor windows have cambered arches, while the right ground floor window is a four-light window. The central doorway features a plank door and a later gabled canopy. The north gable end has a three-light casement window on the first floor and a small canted bay window on the ground floor, both with glazing bars. At the rear, there is a single-storey out-shut with a lean-to tile roof. Blythe Cottage is located alongside the towing path of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal, which was constructed between 1793 and 1799.
