Description
Porthkerry is an attached cottage that was formerly part of a farmhouse, built around the mid-18th century. The cottage features thin rubble-stone walls with dressed stone quoins and a thatched roof. There are brick stacks, one at the left gable and another rendered brick stack at the right party wall. The building is one and a half storeys high and has four windows, which include two-light wooden casements with glazing bars from the 20th century and one earlier casement. The front door, located to the left of center, is a plank-and-muntin design with one glass light, and it is sheltered by a hipped thatch porch.
