Description
Hunters Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century. It features whitewashed rubble walls and is topped with a graduated greenslate roof, which includes a whitewashed stone chimney stack. The building has two storeys and consists of two bays, with a lower left two-storey, single-bay extension. The main part of the house has three-light flat stone mullioned windows with small chamfered surrounds. The extension also has a three-light flat stone mullioned window beneath a casement window, both with stone surrounds. On the right side facing the road, there is a gabled stone porch with a plank door. The cottage has casement windows set in stone surrounds. The rear barn is not of interest.
