Description
Penleigh Cottage, originally stables and a carriage house for Penleigh House, dates from around 1700. It is constructed of English garden wall bond brick and features a hipped Bridgewater tiled roof. The building is two stories high and has five windows. The stable section on the right includes a central chamfered round-arched doorway with a 20th-century door, flanked by moulded cross windows. To the left, there are two elliptically-headed carriage doors with keystones. On the first floor, there are two 2-light casements on either side of a central single light. The interior of the stables has been altered for use as a dwelling.
