Description
Dell Cottage is a house, formerly a pair of cottages, dating from around 1803, with some slight alterations. It is constructed of red brick featuring a chequering of vitreous headers between the storeys and a flush first floor band course of blue brick. The building has cogged brick eaves and a hipped plain tile roof, with flanking brick chimneys.
The cottage is two storeys high and has two bays. The ground floor has paired barred wooden casements, which have smaller panes and cambered heads made of alternating blue and red brick. There are two blind window panels in the centre of the first floor, with a Sun fire insurance plaque located between them. To the left of centre, there is an original flush-panelled door below the panel, which has a 20th-century flat wooden hood supported by brackets. There are slight traces of a blocked door to the right of centre, which now features a 20th-century barred wooden casement.
To the left, there is a lean-to extension that is set back, and to the right, there is a two-storey extension with a narrow 20th-century door and hood that is also set back.
