Description

Vantorts Cottage is a 17th or 18th century corner house that stands two storeys tall with attics. The front, northern side, and southern gable at the rear feature basketwork pargetting, which has been renewed. The northern gable at the rear is weatherboarded. The cottage has a steep old red tile roof that is hipped at the northeast corner, with a pronounced bellcast at the lower part and projecting eaves supported by canted boards. The roof has a U-shaped plan with twin gables at the rear, adorned with sinuous 19th-century bargeboards.

The front has three windows, each with recessed wood casements that have two lights with six panes each. There is a plank door set in a wood surround, topped by a 19th-century inclined hood supported by curvilinear brackets. On the northern side, there is one casement window and a half-glazed door on the ground floor. The cottage features an internal gable chimney on the southern part and a smaller chimney to the north of the ridge in the northern part of the house. This picturesque corner building is significant in views of Fair Green.
