Monument Cottage

Monument Cottage is a small detached house dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of local rubble with granite moorstone dressings and features a steep bitumen-grouted scantle roof with tall brick end stacks, and a later hip on the left side with a front lateral stack. The building has a double-depth plan that includes a shallow rear outshut extending over an integral rear porch.

The house is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window front, along with a later wing on the left. Above the central doorway, there is a blind window, and the doorway itself has a glazed door set within a mid to late 19th-century fretted porch. This porch is flanked by mid-19th-century twelve-pane hornless sash windows, with 20th-century four-pane horned sashes. On the right-hand return, there is an original or early 19th-century four-over-eight pane horizontal-sliding sash window located on the ground floor to the right. The rear of the cottage features a first-floor panel of studwork with rubble nogging to the left of the porch, and there is an old planked door to the left of the porch. The interior has not been inspected.
