Description
Tweed Cottage is a semi-detached building that was originally two cottages, dating from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. It is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone, topped with a slate roof featuring ashlar stacks. There is also a limestone slate roof on the left extension. The building has a rectangular plan with extensions on the left and a former dairy on the right. The main body is two stories tall, while the extensions are at a lower level and set back slightly from the main structure.
The main body has four windows, and the dairy extension has two windows, featuring 1 and 2-light casements. Some of the windows in the former dairy retain original glass. The ground floor windows of the main body have cambered heads, and there is an off-centre plank door on the left side of the main body, which also has a cambered head. The former dairy has a wide plank door with a segmental head, and there are two X-shaped tie plates to the left of this door. The main body has a gable end and an axial stack, with flat coping at the left gable end, while the left extension has a gable end stack. Inside, there are two open fireplaces with bressumers.
