Description

The Old Cottage is a former pair of cottages that has been converted into a single dwelling. It dates from the early 19th century and has undergone alterations. The exterior is weatherboarded with a slated roof and features an irregular T-shaped plan. The building has two storeys, with casement windows and French doors that are fitted with shutters. The interior has not been inspected but is noted to have been significantly altered.
