Description
Ferry Cottage, located on Rayrigg Road in Low Miller Ground, dates back to the 17th century and is constructed from lime-washed stone rubble with an old slate roof. The building is two storeys high and features a prominent round staircase wing on the north front, which has a small two-light window. To the left of the staircase window, there is a three-light window on each floor, and a tiny light can be found under the eaves to the right.
To the right of the house, there is a stone and slate rubble stable and shippon that extends under the same roof down to the lake shore, indicating that the house was once a ferryman's dwelling. This structure includes an old wooden loft door and a round-arched belfry on the gable end, along with a low squat chimney positioned in the centre of the roof.
On the south side, the cottage features four windows on the ground floor and three on the upper floor, with a continuous slate stringcourse running above the ground floor. All windows are fitted with wooden mullions and consist of three, four, or five lights.
