Description
Heath Cottage is a house dating from the early 19th century, with few later alterations. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble and features a hipped slate roof adorned with crested ridge tiles and rendered stacks, one at the right end and one in an axial position to the left. The building has a double depth plan, with a large room on the right heated by a stack at the right end, an entrance hall, and a smaller room on the front left heated by a stack at the rear, which also serves a fireplace in the service room at the rear left. At the rear center is an unheated service wing with a one-room plan.
The exterior is single storey and asymmetrical, with a three-window front consisting of one window on the left and two on the right. All windows are early 19th-century three-light casements featuring pointed arches and Gothick glazing bars. The entrance has a panelled and glazed door with a four-centred arched fanlight, and there is a Gothick design bootscraper on each side. The left side of the cottage has two similar casements and a 20th-century conservatory attached to the rear left. The eaves at the front and left side are lowered and supported on cast iron piers to create a verandah. On the right side, there is a single-storey lean-to beside the front room, along with two similar three-light casements in the rear range. The single-storey service wing features two single lights with ogee arches from the early 19th century and a central 20th-century window on the right side, with a door at the rear and one similar single ogee light and one paired light on the left side, both with granite surrounds. At the rear right, there is a lean-to behind the service room, which includes one similar single ogee light with a granite surround.
The interior has not been fully inspected, but the front windows have panelled shutters, and the entrance hall contains panelled doors on the right and left. There may be additional Gothick details in the joinery.
