Middle Villavin And Adjoining Front Garden Walls And Railings

Middle Villavin is a cottage likely built in the late 17th century or early 18th century, with alterations from the mid to late 19th century and possibly early 20th century additions. The cottage is rendered, likely over cob, and features a thatched roof made of wheatstraw with brick stacks at each end. It has a two-room central-entrance layout with integral end stacks, facing southeast, and is two storeys high. There is probably an early 20th-century two-storey outshut at the rear.

The exterior is symmetrical with a two-window front, featuring 19th-century boxed 8-pane glazing bar sash windows, each consisting of four panes by one pane. The central doorway has a 19th-century four-panelled door and is topped by a late 19th-century or early 20th-century gabled wooden porch. The front garden is enclosed by stone walls on the sides and 19th-century cast-iron railings at the front, which include a central cast-iron gate. A close inspection of the house was not possible at the time of the survey in February 1988, and the interior was not inspected.
