Description
A cottage, likely dating from the late 17th century, with later 20th-century alterations. It is built with rendered walls, probably over a base of stone rubble and cob. The roof is of scantle slate. A rendered stone stack has weatherings. The original layout was probably a three-room baffle-entry plan, with an axial stack positioned between the two rooms on the left-hand side. The cottage has two storeys, with three windows on the first floor and four on the ground floor. Most of the windows are late 20th-century, with two-light wooden casements. A 20th-century segmental-headed door, with glazing, is located between the first and second windows from the left. The interior has not been inspected.
