Trosbie Cottage, Including Front Garden Wall And Gate Piers

Trosbie Cottage is a house that was formerly part of the service wing of Norton House. It likely dates from the 17th century or earlier, with some superficial remodeling in the early 19th century. The cottage features solid roughcast walls and a slated roof, with a rendered chimney on the left end wall and another on the rear wall to the right. It is two stories high and three windows wide. The central doorway has a late 20th-century glazed wood porch.

On the ground floor, there are two wood casement windows with three lights; the left window has two panes per light, while the right window has four panes per light. The upper-storey windows are two-light wood casements with six panes per light, featuring Gothic-glazed transom lights. The left side wall includes a three-paned wood casement window on the ground floor and a two-light wood casement window with two panes per light on the upper storey.

The interior was not inspected, but it was described in a 1975 listing as altered, yet it retains a central passage and some ceiling beams. The roof trusses remain, although later purlins and collars have been removed.

The cottage is accompanied by a front garden wall made of stone rubble with a flat stone coping. The coping ramps up in the center to a pair of square stone rubble gate piers with flat stone caps. On the left side, the wall ramps up to another gate pier with a flat stone cap, which does not project beyond the wall face. The left pier rises higher and lacks a cap. Both piers have been repaired with red brick.
