Description
Lilliput Cottage is a detached cottage, likely built in the mid-18th century. It features rubble stone walls with ashlar quoins and dressings. The slate roof has stone eaves courses and coped gables, with brick stacks at each end. The cottage is two storeys high and has a panelled door set in a moulded stone surround. On the ground floor, there are two stone mullioned windows with flat mullions and casements that have glazing bars, all within moulded stone surrounds. The first floor has three similar windows. There is a 20th-century weatherboarded extension at the right end of the cottage. A cast iron pump is located at the front of the house, and the boundary walls are made of rubble stone.
