Description

This is a cottage built around 1800, constructed from coursed squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring a central brick stack. The building has a square double-depth plan and a single-storey symmetrical front. The central entrance consists of a flush four-panel door with a small-pane overlight, flanked by sash windows that have glazing bars and original panelled shutters. The openings are accented with regular ashlar quoins and flat stone arches. The pyramid roof has overhanging eaves with a plaster soffit. There are later extensions to the right and rear of the cottage. The interior has not been inspected.
