Description

This is an early 19th-century cottage that was enlarged around 1970. It is built with roughcast over rubble walls, accentuated by diagonal buttresses, and has a hipped thatched roof with a central curved sweep over a bay window. A central octagonal stone chimney stack rises from the roof. The cottage is in an L-shape: the original section faces south, and it has been extended with a northwest wing and a curved entrance porch set into the angle.

The south front has two storeys and three bays. A prominent full-height curved bay window is centrally located, featuring pairs of arrowslit windows on both floors. Other windows are 2-light wooden casements; the ground-floor openings retain hoodmoulds. The original entrance is on the right return, with a thatched pentice porch supported by roughcast walls, leading to a plank door. There are two window openings in an outshut on the same return, with a ground-floor window also retaining a hoodmould. A semicircular, part-glazed, thatched porch is now the main entrance, incorporated within a 20th-century addition at the angle of the L-shape. The cottage is one of a group of cottages originally belonging to the Chargot estate.
