Description
Swiss Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with a rear extension added around 1880. The building features witchert construction, roughcast on the front, and some rubble on the sides, with a rubble plinth. It has a thatched roof, while the rear block is made of brick with a tile roof. The house has two bays and two storeys, with a central board door set in a rustic thatched porch. The windows are leaded casements, with three-light windows in the outer bays and transom lights on the ground floor, and a two-light window above the central door. A central brick stack indicates the lobby entry plan of the house. The left gable is made of rubble and has a three-light window on the first floor, while the right gable is rendered with a rubble gable above a brick band and features two three-light leaded casements. The roof is half-hipped, and the roughcast front elevation is treated to resemble coursed masonry blocks. Inside, the house has chamfered and stopped spine beams.
