Description
Garden Cottage is an 18th-century cottage made of red brick in Flemish bond with a plain tile roof. It has a single storey and an attic, featuring a two-cell plan. The central door is flanked by casement windows that sit under segmental arches. There are gabled dormers with casements and bargeboards, and the roof is swept with stacks at the ends. The cottage was disused at the time of the resurvey.
