Description
Gaisford Cottage is a house dating from the mid-18th century that has been altered and extended. It is built of vitreous brick with red brick quoins, window surrounds, and a gauged first floor band course. The cottage features a narrow plinth with convex coping and has an old tile roof with a brick chimney on the right side. It is two storeys high and consists of one bay. The openings have been altered, including a 20th-century bow window on the ground floor that retains a gauged segmental head, and a 20th-century barred wooden casement on the first floor. There are also narrow blocked windows to the right and another blocked window on the first floor to the left of a 20th-century door with a gauged segmental head. To the right, there is a late 19th-century extension that is one bay wide, constructed of red brick with yellow brick dressings, featuring sash windows with stone heads and keyblocks. Additionally, there is a 20th-century extension at the rear.
