Description
Keepers Cottage is a house dating from the early 19th century, with a 20th-century extension. It is built of squared coursed limestone and features a Collyweston slate roof. The original structure has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high. The front has a two-window range of two-light Gothick windows, each with a two-centred arch head. There is a central ribbed door that also has a similar arch head. The roof is hipped with large overhanging eaves, and there is a lateral stone stack at the rear. The side elevations have one-window ranges of Gothick windows that match those at the front. The rear of the building includes a 20th-century two-storey extension. The interior has not been inspected.
