Description
Cyprus Cottage is a house that likely dates from the early 18th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. It features a brick plinth made of grey brick with red brick dressings and has an old plain-tile roof with brick stacks at both ends. The building is two stories tall and has a five-window range. The central entrance has a 20th-century panelled door, while the windows are 20th-century two-light casements set in segmental-headed openings, which have keystones on both the ground and first floors, as well as in the center of the first floor. There are segmental-headed panels with keystones on either side of the central entrance on both floors. A flat brick band runs between the ground and first floors, and there is a brick dentil course at the eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
