Description
The porch and flanking walls attached to a cottage, located 100 metres southwest of The Caves, are a picturesque estate feature from the early 19th century. Constructed from unworked stone with a slate roof, the structure is single-storey and features three windows. The central entrance has a pointed arch with a rustic pediment above, flanked by two small pointed windows that are separated by pilaster strips topped with finials. The design includes corner finials, and all details are roughly fashioned. The side facing the road has a later segmental head opening, while the other side is blank. A 2-metre high flanking wall curves around to the road and ends in a pointed arch opening that is now blocked. This structure is attached to an earlier cottage that is not of listable quality. It is part of a larger collection of picturesque estate features created by the antiquarian Bishop Law of Bath and Wells on his Banwell estate.
