Description
Gable Cottage is a house dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, constructed of rubble stone with a stone-tiled roof and coped gables. It features a chimney stack at the west end and another at the east corner. The house has one and a half storeys and is double-fronted, with recessed windows featuring ovolo moulding and hoodmoulds. There are two dormer gables, with three-light windows to both floors on the left-hand side and two-light windows to both floors on the right. A central door is contained within a flush-moulded doorcase with a hood supported by brackets. An east-end first-floor window has two lights and a hoodmould. The windows are 20th-century casements. A converted L-plan range of single-storey outbuildings exists at the rear, but these are not considered to be of particular architectural interest.
