Description
Trafalgar Cottage is an early 19th-century cottage located in Sturminster Marshall. It features rendered walls set on a high plinth made of painted brickwork above stone rubble. The roof is covered with corrugated iron, which conceals thatch at the gables, where it is masked by boarding. The southeast elevation is simple, consisting of two storeys with two casement windows and a plain doorway. There is a 20th-century rear outshot.
