Description

Friars Cottage is a house from the mid-18th century that has undergone some alterations. It is constructed of finely herringbone-tooled coursed sandstone and features a pantiled roof with stone coping and an old brick chimney. The building has two storeys and an attic, with two wide and irregular bays. A modern central door is located under a gabled wooden hood supported by decorative brackets. On either side of the door are early 20th-century wooden sash windows in box frames. The first floor has four small, plain modern casement windows arranged irregularly. There are also traces of older windows, which may have been stone-mullioned, visible in the masonry. A large modern three-light dormer is present, along with coping and a chimney at the left end.
