Description
Echo Cottage is an early 19th-century house constructed of ashlar, with a stone-tiled roof, coped gables, and an east end stack. It has two storeys and a basement. Originally a two-window range, the front has been extended to become a three-window arrangement. The upper floor features three 12-pane sashes, while the ground floor has a 16-pane sash and a 6-panel door with a hood supported by brackets. There are paired 12-pane sashes above the door. A floor band runs over the ground-floor windows. The left side of the house has a rear wall stack. A parallel rear wing and a further rear range are also present, built of squared rubble with stone tiles and Bridgwater tiles.
