Description
Tamarisk Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century. It is constructed from granite stone rubble with large roughly-dressed quoins, plastered at the front and lightly incised to resemble ashlar. The cottage features granite stacks topped with 20th-century brick and has a thatched roof.
The building has a two-room plan and faces north-west, with a central staircase and end stacks, and it is two storeys high. The nearly symmetrical front has two windows, which are late 19th-century casements with glazing bars, and a central doorway that contains a contemporary plank door. The roof is gable-ended to the right and runs continuously with the roof of the adjoining Dagworthy Cottage to the left.
The interior was not available for inspection during the survey. In front of the cottage, a narrow garden is separated from the road by a low granite stone rubble wall from the late 19th century, which features crenellated coping and monolithic granite gate posts.
