Description
Bushey Cottage is a house dating from around 1840. It is constructed of stuccoed brick with a slate roof and consists of two bays, with a further bay set back on the right side, serving as the entrance. The entrance features a moulded round arch leading to the door, accompanied by a recess. Ground floor French windows are present, along with a verandah. The first floor has cross windows with glazing bars, set within moulded architraves. A moulded cornice sits above a balustraded parapet, and pilaster strips are visible at the corners of the building. Gable end parapets are also present. A central ridge stack rises from the roof. The interior has not been inspected.
