Description

Wistaria Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the early 18th century. It features rendered rubble walls and a projecting front lateral stack. The roof is made of asbestos slate, hipped to the left and gabled to the right. The original layout of the cottage is unclear due to later alterations, but it is thought to have originally been a one or two-room plan with the front lateral stack serving the left-hand room. There are 20th-century additions at the rear and right side of the building.

The cottage is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with two windows. On the first floor, there are 20th-century two-light casements with glazing bars. On the ground floor to the right, there are 20th-century bay windows, and a 20th-century glazed door is located at the right gable end behind a 20th-century conservatory. On the left gable end, there are two adjoining two-light casements with small panes; the left-hand window is from the 20th century, while the right-hand one is from the 19th century, both situated under a rendered stone/slate drip course. The interior was inaccessible during the survey, but no original features were visible.
