St Anthony Cottage including front garden wall and gate posts

This is a mid-19th century cottage, originally part of a row, with a rear extension added in the 19th century and later alterations. It is constructed of granite rubble with a dressed granite front. The roof is gabled, abutting the adjacent houses and covered in asbestos slate. There are brick stacks at the left-hand gable end and to the later rear roof.

The cottage faces north and is single-depth with two rooms and a central entrance. A partition wall between the two front rooms has been removed. A slightly later 19th-century, single-room kitchen wing extends to the rear, featuring a gable and a stack. A 20th-century lean-to conservatory is located at the rear of the wing.

The two-storey front elevation is symmetrical with two bays, featuring relatively large 19th-century sash windows with margin glazing and horns. The ground floor windows have dressed granite lintels and slate sills. A 20th-century projecting porch, constructed of granite with a glazed timber frame under a slate roof, is attached to the central doorway. A modern slate step leads to the porch, while a 19th-century granite step leads to the cottage entrance. The rear wing’s east side has margin-glazed sashes on both floors and a plank door with an overlight to the right.

Inside, the front room has a wide granite fireplace and chimneybreast at the east end and a smaller granite fireplace with mantel on the west wall. The lateral stair at the rear has stick balusters and a turned newel post, which has been modified. An arched granite opening provides access from the rear wall to the kitchen. The ceiling displays exposed machine-sawn joists. The kitchen includes a granite fireplace and chimneybreast in the end wall. Timber cupboards around the stair are likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The 19th-century joinery around the front windows has 20th-century adaptations, including deep reveals, rebated shutters and window seats. The first floor contains 19th-century doors to the bedrooms, and one room has a 19th-century cast-iron fireplace. Some common rafters within the roof structure were replaced in the later 20th century.

The front garden features a dressed granite dwarf wall along the pavement, punctuated by small, rusticated granite gate posts at the centre. The post at the east end may be a replacement. Modern gates and railings sit atop the dwarf wall. A decorative path, which may partially underlie the modern porch, runs from the gateway to the front door.
