Description
Ferrymans Cottage is a 16th-century cottage that has been altered in the 20th century. It is timber framed with painted render infilling and features an old tile roof, with a chimney located at the east end. The cottage consists of two framed bays that are two storeys high and two framed bays that are one storey high, along with an attic extension that has a gabled dormer.
On the entrance front, there are irregular 20th-century casement windows with two and three lights, a half-glazed door with an exposed frame and arch braces on the first floor of the two-storey section, a boarded door, a two-light casement window on the ground floor, and a dormer in the extension. Inside, the frame is almost completely exposed.
