Description
A cottage and associated outbuilding, along with garden walls, dating from around 1880 to 1890, situated within the Membland estate and likely designed by George Devey’s office. The cottage is constructed of slate rubble with red brick dressings, topped with a slate roof featuring a half-hipped end and another end with a brick Dutch gable. It is a single-story structure with an attic. It has casement windows with glazing bars, and rendered ridge chimney stacks. An electricity generator house, which now functions as an outbuilding, adjoins the cottage at a right angle to the northwest. This outbuilding is single-story with a hipped slate roof and a louvred ventilator running the entire length of its ridge. The garden walls, which border the north and northwest, are made of slate rubble with brick saddle-back coping and terminal piers topped with ball finials. The structures are included on the list for their group value, as documented in Country Life in April 1982 on page 1236.
