Description
Blenheim Cottage is a cottage dated 1755, with an extension added around 1960. It is constructed of limestone rubble and features a plain tile roof with gabled ends, along with a stone rubble axial stack. The building has a two-room plan, with a bay added on the left (southeast) end during the 1960 extension.
The exterior is two storeys high and presents an asymmetrical three-window front facing the road. It has 2-light casements with horizontal glazing bars, while the first floor is left blank. A datestone inscribed with "T?G. 1755" is also present. At the rear, there are 2-light casements on the ground floor, which include a 20th-century conservatory.
Inside, the cottage features chamfered ceiling beams, and the right-hand room has exposed rafters.
