Description
Osborne Cottage is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed from squared and coursed limestone and features a gabled concrete tile roof with a brick stack at the right end. The cottage has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys tall with a two-window range. There is a timber lintel above the central 20th-century glazed door, and segmental stone arches over the 20th-century casements. The first floor has 19th-century two-light casements with iron opening lights, which are also topped with timber lintels. The interior has not been inspected. The cottage is included for its group value.
