Description
Jessamin Cottage is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century. It features roughcast walls and a gabled roof covered with old tiles, along with a brick stack on the left end. The cottage has a two-unit outshut plan and is two storeys high with a two-window range. There is a segmental arch above a blocked door, and timber lintels over 20th-century casements. A 20th-century stable door is located in the right side wall. Inside, there is a chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace on the left and a queen-post roof. The cottage is included for its group value.
