Description
South Lake Cottage is a house, formerly a longhouse, dating from the 16th or 17th century, with the shippon end on the right rebuilt in the 20th century. It features solid roughcast walls, likely made of stone, and an asbestos-slated roof. A large, painted granite ashlar chimneystack with thatch weathering and a tapered cap is located at the center of the ridge, probably serving the former hall. The original layout likely included two domestic rooms on the left and the shippon on the right. The house is two storeys high and two windows wide, with late 19th or early 20th century casements that have glazing bars. The interior has not been inspected.
