Description
Keeper's Cottages is a pair of cottages built around 1840. They are constructed from ashlar stone and topped with a Welsh slate roof. The cottages feature six bays and are two stories high, with one-bay cross wings connected by a single-storey, four-bay section. The design includes raised alternating quoins.
The doorways located in the second and fifth bays are framed by open porches that have catslide roofs supported by wooden Tuscan columns. Both the doors and windows are adorned with raised alternating-block surrounds. The cottages have boarded doors and 16-pane sash windows, each with hoodmoulds.
The roofs are gabled with projecting eaves, and there are tall square stacks with diagonal cornices positioned over the cross gables and in the center of the single-storey section.
