Description
The Cottage is a house that likely dates from the early 18th century. It is constructed of grey brick with red brick dressings and features a plain tile roof with a brick stack at the right end. The building is two stories tall and has a three-window range. There is a central plank door with an over-light and a segmental brick head. On either side of the door, there are horizontal sash windows. A brick band runs between the ground and first floor. On the first floor, there is probably an early 18th-century two-light leaded casement window to the left, with two-light wooden casement windows in the center and to the right. The interior has not been inspected.
