The center of the cottage projects outward, featuring a broad arched-headed triple casement window on the first floor, supported by a reused carved medieval corbel below. The central door is flanked by small arched-headed windows that have leaded iron casements and intersecting-tracery heads. Above the door, there are reused 17th-century grotesque carvings. The side walls are constructed of rubble stone. This cottage is part of a series of estate cottages from Erlestoke Park, which are embellished with various carved fragments.
