Description
Gardener's Cottage is a detached cottage dating from the mid-18th century, although it has been heavily rebuilt in the 20th century. The cottage features coursed rubble stone walls with dressed stone quoins and a thatched roof with gable ends. It is 1½ storeys high and has three windows, which are two-light wood casements with glazing bars and tiled cills. There are three eyebrow dormers on the roof. The front door, located at the center, is a plank and glazed design from the 20th century. At the east end of the cottage, there is an outhouse with rubble walls and a half-hipped thatch roof.
