Description
Gardeners Cottage is a 18th-century cottage, likely constructed from rendered timber frame and brick, with a glazed black pantile roof. The building has a rectangular shape and features a facade with five bays and one and a half storeys. There is a rendered plinth, and the second and fourth bays have 19th-century four-panel doors. A three-light casement window is located under a segmental arch in the first bay, while a small casement is found in the centre bay and another three-light casement is in the fifth bay. There are attic casements in the first and fifth bays, and gable end stacks complete the structure.
