Description
Torre Cottage is a small house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with 20th-century additions. The building features rendered rubble and cob walls and a hipped thatched roof. There is a central axial rendered brick stack, and the layout consists of a two-room plan, with each room heated by back-to-back fireplaces. Originally, there may have been a baffle entry in front of the stack, but the current entry is now into the left-hand room.
The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical two-window front and three windows on the ground floor. The windows are 20th-century three-light casements, except for the right-hand ground floor window, which is a single light. To the left of the centre, there is a 19th or 20th-century open-fronted thatched porch, behind which is likely the original wide plank door. At the rear, there are 20th-century one-storey additions. Inside, both rooms feature open fireplaces with wooden lintels.
