Description
The Gardens is a cottage dating from the 17th century, with a 19th-century extension to the left. It features a timber frame of modest scantling, with colourwashed brick infilling and colourwashed brick and tile hung extensions. The original range has a plain tiled roof, while the extension has a low pitched, hipped slate roof. The building was originally an end chimney house but has since been extended. It stands two storeys tall, with a stack located to the left of centre at the junction with the extensions, and an additional front stack on the extension. The old cottage displays two framed bays, with three casement windows on the first floor and two casement windows below. There is a glazed door under a drip board to the left of centre. The extension has one window on its return front and two windows on the ground floor. A weatherboard pentice extension is present across the rear.
