Description
Garden Cottage is a house dating from the late 16th century. It is timber framed and clad with red brick and weatherboard, with some exposed timber posts. The roof is plain tiled and features three framed bays with outshots. The building has two storeys and a hipped roof with gablets, along with stacks at the center and a freestanding stack at the right end. There are three wooden casements on the first floor and four on the ground floor, including one in the right-hand outshot. A plank door is located to the center right, topped with a flat hood. At the rear, there is a hipped extension. Inside, there is evidence of an end jetty and an ovolo moulded mullioned window in the outshot. The upper hall was originally open to a clasped purlin roof. A chalk signature in the roof reads "John Culling 1709," which is also noted in relation to Troy Town House.
