Description
Mossings is an 18th-century cottage constructed of red brick. It features a half hipped red plain tiled gambrel roof with six gabled dormers. A red brick eaves band runs along the roofline, and there are red brick chimney stacks on both the left and right sides of the building. The cottage is one storey with attics and has a five-window range of 19th-century casements, which have segmental heads and a band above them. The central entrance consists of a two-panel door, flanked by plain pilasters, and is topped with a flat canopy supported by curved brackets.
