Description

Nepicar Cottage is a 17th-century cottage featuring a framed structure with a west wing. The ground floor is partly constructed of red brick and partly of galletted random rubble stone, while the first floor is weather-boarded. The roof is half-hipped and covered with plain tiles, with a ridge stack located on the west wing. The wing has tile-hanging on the first floor, a half-hipped roof, and a catslide to the north. The cottage has two storeys and displays irregular fenestration, with two windows on the first floor and one on the ground floor, all of which are casements. The entrance, located to the left, has a modern glazed door. This building is noted as a good example of a modest domestic structure of traditional regional design.
