Description
Dagworthy Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century and was enlarged in the late 19th to early 20th century. It is constructed of plastered granite stone rubble with granite stacks topped with 20th-century brick and features a thatched roof. The original section of the cottage has a two-room plan facing northwest. The right room includes an end stack that backs onto Tamarisk Cottage, while the left room has an axial stack that backs onto an entrance lobby. The cottage is two storeys high.
The exterior displays an irregular three-window front featuring late 19th and 20th-century casements, most of which have glazing bars. At the left end of the first floor is a six-pane sash window. Below this window is the entrance, which consists of a late 19th to early 20th-century four-panel door with an overlight, set behind a contemporary gabled porch with a tiled roof, shaped bargeboards, and a terracotta finial. The roof of Dagworthy Cottage runs continuously with that of Tamarisk Cottage on the right and abuts a late 19th to early 20th-century crosswing on the left.
The interior has been extensively rebuilt in the 20th century and now only features 20th-century elements. The narrow strip of front garden is separated from the road by a late 19th to early 20th-century granite stone rubble wall with crenellated coping and monolithic granite gate posts. The main part of the house now includes a late 19th to early 20th-century crosswing built of granite with brick dressings and a concrete tile roof.
