Description
Virginia is a cottage that has been partly demolished for a 19th-century two-storey extension to the east. It features a timber-framed structure with rough-cast walls and a thatched roof, complemented by two ridge stacks. The building includes two modern dormer windows and two small bay windows with slate roofs. There is a door on the right side, which may be the original entry to the cottage. Inside, the hall has boxed cross-beams and a sealed inglenook hearth.
