Description

The cottage is a gable-end, two-room structure facing south, with a stack projecting from the right (east) end and a single-room extension added to the west. It is two stories tall and features an irregular two-window front made up of late 19th-century casements of various sizes. The door is located at the left end. The single-storey extension has a hipped thatch roof and a tall rendered chimney shaft.
