Description

Crag Cottage is a house that likely dates from the 18th century. It is constructed of roughcast stone and has a slate roof. The east elevation features two storeys and three bays, with the south-east angle cut back. The windows include small-paned fixed glazing, with opening lights on the ground floor and pivoted upper parts on the first floor. There is a large opening to an outhouse at the first bay of the ground floor, and the entrance is located between the second and third bays. A corbelled gable-end stack is present. At the rear, there are small windows, one of which has a horizontally sliding sash.
