Description
Brambles Cottage is a small cottage, likely built in the 18th century, which was modernised around 1980. It features plastered cob on volcanic rubble footings, with a cob or rubble stack topped by 20th-century brick. The thatched roof is hipped on both sides. The cottage has a two-room plan with the stack located at the north-west end, to the right of the front, and it faces north-east. It is two storeys high and has a symmetrical front with two windows, which are wooden casements from around 1980 that include glazing bars. The central door, also from the same period, has a timber gabled hood. Inside, the carpentry detail is plain.
