Description
Woolgarston Cottage is a detached cottage, likely built in the 18th century. It features rubble stone walls and a stone slate roof, with brick stacks at either end. The cottage has two storeys and an attic. The entrance is a ledged door located within a corrugated iron porch. Both the ground and first floors have two plain casement windows, with those on the ground floor set under segmental arches. Above the door, there is a raised circular stone panel. The attic includes one hipped dormer with a pivoted sash window that has glazing bars.
On the right side, there is a single-storey outhouse extension that matches the main construction and has a ledged door. On the left side, a former cart shed is present, constructed with rubble stone walls and topped with a corrugated asbestos roof. Additionally, there is a single-storey rear lean-to beneath a catslide roof.
