Description
Gull Cottage is a building that originated as two cottages in the early 18th century, with a front block added in the early to mid-19th century. The exterior features stucco, partially incised, over a timber frame at the front, with cob at the rear, and a slate roof consisting of two ranges with ridges at right angles to each other and a stack located at the rear left. The building has a two-unit plan, which was formerly two one-room cottages.
It stands two storeys high and has a single-window range. The front features a 20th-century window and door. On the left side of the front, there is a bulge in the wall, which may have been a former stack or stair turret.
Inside, the rear cottage is at a lower level with walls approximately 1.2 meters thick and a former open fire located on the rear left wall. The roof in this section has trenched purlins. The front cottage has been altered, but there is still evidence of a former staircase behind the old fire on the left-hand wall, and the roof includes a ship's mast used as a collar beam.
