Description
Dropmore Cottage is a house, now divided into two flats, dating from the late 17th century. It has a roughcast exterior and a gabled roof covered with old tiles. There is a 17th century brick stack at the left end of the building. The house features a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a two-window range. The entrance has a 20th century door, and the windows are late 19th century two- and three-light casements. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest. Dropmore Cottage also includes No. 27 Brook Street.
