Description
Oyster Cottage is an early 19th-century house that has been stuccoed and is positioned with its back to the road. It features a low-pitched slate roof that is slurried, with one end gabled and the other hipped. The building has two storeys and three sash windows, which include glazing bars. There is a modern glazed porch that is located off-centre. The elevation facing the road has a curved angle due to its corner location, and the fenestration of the sashes is irregular.
