Description
Collins House is a house dating from the 17th century, with later alterations. It is constructed of coursed squared rubble and features timber lintels and a steep-pitched stone slate roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a three-window range. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door, two of which are glazed, and is topped by a 20th-century flat hood supported by wrought iron brackets.
On the ground floor, the window to the right has large-paned sashes with horns, while the left window features 16-pane sashes next to a 20th-century mullioned and transomed casement. The first floor windows also include mullioned and transomed casements, with the right window retaining an early wooden frame. There are two rendered gabled dormers, each with casement windows. The house has two gable end chimneys; the right chimney is made of stone with a moulded cap, while the left chimney is made of brick.
