Description
Candy Cottage is a house built in the late 18th century and early 19th century. It is constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and features a graduated stone slate roof. The house has a single-depth layout with two bays and two storeys. The second bay, which predates the first, has quoins and a 5-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion window on each floor, with the ground floor window retaining 8-pane casements. The first bay includes a door to the right, a 2-light window on the ground floor, and a 5-light flat-faced stone mullion window on the first floor. There are two ridge chimney stacks, and the right gable is rendered. The left gable has a 2-light window. At the rear, there is a 3-light chamfered mullion window with an unusual small arched light above, a 3-light flat-faced mullion window, a blocked window, and a door at first floor level with a dressed surround.
