Description
Roundabout Cottage is a mid-18th century house located on Smalls Hill Road. It features a two-room plan with a central entrance lobby and a sunken dairy outshut. The cottage is constructed of red brick, with some vitrified headers, and has a tiled roof. Notable architectural details include an eaves cornice made of bricks set diagonally and a strong course. The building has three casement windows, with the ground floor windows having a cambered shape, and a central doorcase topped with a later pentined weather hood.
Inside, the cottage has framed partitions made of light scantling in the entrance lobby, an internal jetty between the rooms and the outshut with square framing, and stairs that rise in the outshut. There is a large inglenook hearth and a corner parlour hearth. The roof structure is a Queen Strut design. Pathways around the cottage are made of Charlwood stone. The cottage is named Roundabout Cottage because it is oriented with its back to the road.
