Description

The Cottage is a small house built around the mid-19th century. It is faced with roughly coursed granite and has granite dressings. The roof is made of grouted scantle slate and features brick chimneys at the gable ends. The building has a two-room layout with a central lobby and staircase. It stands two storeys tall and has a symmetrical northeast front with two windows and a central doorway. The door is panelled, and the windows are late 19th-century horned sashes, each with four panes, except for the first-floor right window, which has twelve panes, following the original glazing pattern. The interior has not been inspected.
