Description

Turleigh Cottage is a house from the mid to late 18th century, which has been refronted from an earlier structure. It is built of rubble stone and features a slate roof with coped gables and end stacks. The building has two storeys and presents a formal three-window north front with an advanced centre, a moulded cornice, and a parapet, although the stonework varies, with rubble stone on the left bay and squared rubble elsewhere.

The centre of the front has a six-panel door set in a beaded architrave with a keystone, flanked by small eight-pane windows in similar architraves. Above the door, there is a pediment supported by consoles. On the first floor, there is a six-pane window in a matching architrave. The sides of the house feature a large sash window on the ground floor and a square window above on the right side, which has beaded surrounds, while the left side has an unmoulded twelve-pane sash below and a six-pane window above.

The east end wall includes large early 20th-century windows on both floors. At the rear, there is a canted wing with a stone slate roof and a south end stack, which has a three-window range of leaded casements, one of which is blocked by a raking buttress.
