Description
Stream Cottage is a house dating from the early to mid 19th century. It is built from rendered stone rubble and has a slate roof with gable ends. There is a brick chimney stack on the right-hand gable end. The plan of the house has been altered, but it likely originally featured a two-room layout with the entrance at the front on the higher left-hand side, above a cellar at the lower right-hand end. The cellar, which was probably used as a store originally, is now utilized as a kitchen. A stream runs behind the house.
The building has two storeys and a basement where the ground drops down to the right. There is a four-panel door leading to the basement. The ground floor includes steps leading up to a 19th-century four-panel door on the left, and a late 19th-century or 20th-century four-pane sash window on the right. The first floor features two original 12-pane sash windows without horns. Inside, there are 19th-century ceiling beams. The exterior remains unaltered. The building is included for its group value.
