Description
This early 19th-century stone cottage was originally designed as two dwellings, arranged in a symmetrical L-shaped plan with a gabled entrance bay. The construction incorporates flint pebbles and white brick dressings, topped with a slated roof, reflecting a picturesque estate style. The cottage has two storeys, with a two-window range on each of its three main faces. The windows are 3-light casements; those on the ground floor have 4-centred arches and Y tracery. Some windows are blocked, particularly in the end bay of the right-hand cottage. Two entrances feature 4-centred arches recessed within triangular-shaped lobbies, each with a boarded door. Brick hood moulds are above the first-floor windows above the entrances. The entrance gable has bargeboards and a spike finial. Two chimney stacks, one in each wing, have two coupled octagonal flues with oversailing courses to their caps. The left-hand cottage has been modernised, with mostly renewed windows and a mid-20th century extension.
