Description
Virginia Cottage is a small house built around the mid-19th century. It is constructed from local stone rubble, featuring granite quoins and cills, with red brick window arches. The left side is whitewashed, the right side is tarred, and the back is rendered. The roof is a grouted scantle slate hipped design with red clay ridge tiles, and the eaves at the back are slightly lower. The building has ogee moulded cast-iron gutters and brick stacks over the side walls topped with turned clay pots.
The plan of the cottage is a double depth rectangular shape, consisting of two principal rooms at the front with an entrance passage between them and smaller service rooms at the back. The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window north front, featuring original 16-pane sash windows with segmental red brick arches and granite cills. The central first-floor window is blind. The central doorway has a 19th-century six-panel door and a late 19th-century glazed porch with stained glass margin panes.
The interior was not inspected but may still have simple 19th-century joinery. Virginia Cottage was previously located in the parish of Constantine before the parish boundaries were altered.
