Description
Gilton Cottage is a pair of attached houses built around 1800, with some 20th-century alterations and additions. The houses are constructed from slatestone rubble with stone dressings and feature a hipped asbestos slate roof with a central axial stack that has a brick shaft. Each house has a two-room layout, with one room at the front and one at the rear, all heated from the central stack. The entrance porches are located on the outer sides of each house, and they previously had paired entrances at the front. In the late 20th century, a two-storey addition was added to the left side.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front. The first floor includes a central blind window with painted Chinoiserie margin glazing, a two-light six-pane casement to the left, and a two-light casement with Chinoiserie margin glazing to the right, all featuring cambered arches. The ground floor has four windows, with the inner two previously being doors, now replaced with two-light casements. The outer casements are two-light with Gothic margin glazing, and there is a band course. The porch on the right has a hipped roof and a plank door. The 20th-century addition on the left includes a door and a two-light casement, with all margin glazing styled similarly.
On the right side, there is a four-pane sash window at ground level in the porch, with a hipped dormer above that has a single casement with margin glazing. The range to the right features a ground floor half-glazed door and a single casement with margin glazing, while the first floor has two similar casements. At the rear, there is a blind door to the left and a French window to the right with margin glazing. The first floor has a blind and painted Gothic casement to the left and a two-light casement to the right. The 20th-century addition to the right is hung with asbestos slate. The interior has not been inspected.
