Description
Blue House Cottage is a house dating from the 18th century or possibly earlier. It is timber framed and weatherboarded, topped with a plain tile roof. The cottage is positioned at right angles to the road and has two storeys set on a brick plinth. It features a steeply-pitched hipped roof and a brick ridge stack located towards the left end. The windows are arranged irregularly, with three three-light paned casements—one to the left and two to the right of the stack. There is a boarded door with a flat bracketed hood situated under the stack. The interior has not been inspected.
