Description

Prospect Cottage is an early 19th-century, two-storey Gothick cottage located on the north side of Shooters Hill. It features a low-pitched, hipped slate roof with deep eaves. The exterior is finished in stucco, and the cottage has sash windows with glazing bars and four-centred arches, including the entrance door. The door is a six-panel design set within a patterned trellis porch that has a swept lead roof. Additionally, there is a fire assurance sign positioned at the centre of the first floor.

It experiences an average of 29 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 68% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
