Barnacle Cottage is a building that was originally two cottages, now functioning as a single house. It dates from the mid to late 18th century and underwent alterations around 1960.

Timber lintels are present over the central late 19th century panelled door and 19th century windows, which have glazing bars and are set in beaded frames. Inside, there is a chamfered beam and a flat stone arch over an open fireplace that includes a cloam oven in the room on the left. Barnacle Cottage is attached to the left of Nos. 10 and 11.
