Description

The Cottage is a house and cottage that has been combined into one dwelling, dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared stone and features a pantiled roof with stone copings and square kneelers, along with end brick chimneys. The building has two storeys and four irregularly placed windows. The windows include small 18th-century sashes with glazing bars, as well as some early 20th-century small-paned casements. There is a pent porch located at the back of the property.
