Description

Wellington Cottage is an early 18th-century building with a symmetrical front facing west. It has two storeys and features a central entrance flanked by half-octagonal full-height bays, each containing three lights, and wide side walls with one window each. The roof is tiled, half-hipped at the ends and hipped above the bays, with brick dentil eaves. Above the entrance, there is a pediment or gable with a brick dentil band and verges, which contains a painted lunette. A central shafted stack is present. The walls are made of red brick in Flemish bond, with rubbed flat arches over the ground-floor windows and thin brick keystones at the centre of the bays, along with a plinth. The upper casements have old leaded lights, while the ground-floor bays feature sash windows. The doorway has a moulded architrave, a plain frieze, and a moulded canopy, leading to a six-panelled door. The other elevations maintain the traditional form, and at the rear, there are some old leaded casements and a similar doorcase.
