Description
This is an 18th-century cottage located on Castor Allotment Lane. It is constructed of stone rubble, with a rendered front elevation, and has a pantile roof with gabled ends. The building is one storey in height with attic space. Two modern, semi-dormer windows have been added, featuring catslide roofs. The ground floor originally had a door but this has been replaced by a canted bay window. There are three windows in total, with modern casements incorporating glazing bars. Chimney stacks are present at each gable end.
