Lowertown Cottage

Lowertown Cottage is a Grade II listed building, originally two cottages, and part of a group of estate cottages built by the Newman family in the mid to late 19th century. The cottage is constructed of stone rubble with granite dressings and features an asbestos slate hipped roof that is gableted at the ends. It has a central stone stack with a brick shaft on the ridge and a double depth plan, which indicates it was formerly two separate cottages heated from the central stack. The building is two storeys high with a two-window front. There is a gabled stone porch on the left side, while a second porch has been removed and the doorway is now blocked. The ground floor windows are three-light casements with four panes per light, and the first floor has similar two-light casements. This cottage is part of an attractive group of mid to late 19th-century estate cottages.
