Description
Twin Waters is a cottage, likely dating to the late 18th century. It has colourwashed, rendered walls and a thatched roof, half-hipped on the left and gable-ended on the right. A brick end stack is located on the right. A probable 19th-century extension is present on the left. The cottage is two storeys high and has a four-window range. The original section was probably symmetrical in design, featuring two-light casement windows with glazing bars. This demonstrates group value from the surrounding buildings.
