Description
Well Cottage is a house from the mid-19th century with few later alterations. It is constructed of slatestone rubble and partly slate-hung, topped with a slate roof that is hipped to the right and features a gable end to the left, which includes a gable end stack. The house appears to have a one-room plan, heated by a stack at the left gable end. Well Cottage is situated partly behind the houses attached to the left and adjoins the shop that forms the rear of Martins Cottage.
The exterior consists of two storeys with an asymmetrical two-window front, where the upper level is slate-hung. The ground floor features a slate hood on brackets above a door with cover strips. To the left, there is a 19th-century three-light, eight-pane casement window with left-hand hinges, while the first floor has two two-light casement windows. The rear and interior of the building were not inspected.
