Description
Kuching Cottage is a house located at the end of a row, built in the early 19th century. It features a plastered cob exterior and a hipped roof made of Welsh slate, along with brick chimney stacks. The building is two stories tall and has a three-window front, which includes a later 19th-century bay window on the left side. The central entrance consists of a six-panelled door that is sheltered by a canopy supported by wooden posts. On either side of the door, there is a 16-pane sash window. The first floor has two additional 16-pane sash windows. An extension to the left of the main structure includes one 16-pane sash window on both floors. The left side of the building has no windows. At the rear, the early 19th-century section has a 20th-century glazed lean-to extension on the ground floor, featuring plate-glass sashes, while the rear of the later part has 16-pane sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
