Trillgate Cottage

This is a house, dating from around 1600, with additions from the 17th century. It was altered in the early 20th century and again around 1960. The house is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with dressed stone details, ashlar dressings, and a concrete tile roof. There are three ashlar chimney stacks. It is a single-story building with an attic.

The north elevation has a blank gable on the right side. To the left is an off-centre doorway with a chamfered four-centred arched surround and a three-light window with a cavetto moulded mullion and a Tudor dripmould above. To the right of the doorway is a single light window with a similar moulded surround and dripmould. Above and to the left is a matching window. The east gable elevation has a 20th-century three-light chamfered mullion window and a similar two-light window above. The south elevation features a doorway on the left with a timber lintel and a 20th-century inscribed plaque above it. To the right is a single 20th-century four-light chamfered mullion window, and above it are two gabled dormers, each with a two-light casement window.

A projecting gabled cross wing on the left has a return wall with a single two-light cavetto moulded mullion window. A late 20th century single-story addition is situated on the gable, and above it is a 20th-century two-light casement window. The west elevation features a central buttress with a tall 20th-century cross casement window to the right. A two-light casement window is to the left, and above it is a through-eaves dormer window.

Inside, the living room has a heavy chamfered beam ceiling and an inglenook fireplace with a chamfered wooden bressumer. A panel door to the right leads to a wooden winder staircase. The kitchen also has a similar inglenook fireplace with a wooden bressumer and a bread oven, plus a stone winder staircase on the left. Original wooden roof trusses are visible in the bedroom above the kitchen.
