Description
East Cottage is a pair of attached houses, likely built for miners, now functioning as a single house. It is dated 1853, with a later 19th-century addition and some alterations. The building is made of rendered stone rubble and features a hipped slate roof with ridge tiles and a central axial rendered stack.
The layout consists of two one-room plan houses, each with a porch entrance on the outer side of the front, leading directly into the room. Each room is heated by back-to-back fireplaces located in the central axial stack. The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical two-window front. The ground and first floors have two 16-pane sash windows in the center, and there is a central datestone on the first floor. The left end has a 20th-century porch, while the right end features a single-storey attached gabled addition that encloses the original porch and is extended by a small single-storey outhouse with a gable end and two doors. The rest of the building and the interior have not been inspected.
