Description
Torr Cottage is a detached cottage, originally two separate homes, dating from the early 19th century. The building is rendered and features a low-pitched slate roof. It has two storeys with one window on the left and one on the right, both of which are 2-light glazing bar casements, set into the ground floor with cambered heads. There is a plank door on the left and a stable door on the right, both sheltered by a pent slate hood. The cottage has a central blocked opening where a former datestone was located, although this has now been removed. It also has external gable stacks. Overall, the exterior remains modest but unaltered.
