Description
Heather Cottage is a late 17th-century cottage that was formerly two separate dwellings. It has been extended at both ends in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame with thin scantling that is exposed on the ground floor to the left of center, while the right side has brick cladding below and tile hanging above. The roof is plain tiled and the cottage is two storeys high, originally designed with a lobby entry plan. There is a corbelled ridge stack located to the right of center and an end stack on the left. A weatherboarded dormer is situated on the left end. The cottage has four casement windows on the first floor and three windows below, along with a glazed door to the left and a rear door to the right end. There is a single-storey extension to the right that includes an additional window, and a blocked door is found to the right of center, with a parallel range extending across the rear.
