Description
The Cottage is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and features a slate roof. The building has a two-unit plan and stands two storeys high. The front has a two-window range of 19th-century casements with wood lintels on the ground floor, and a single-light window is located at the centre of both floors. There is a rendered stack at one end. The rear elevation is similar, with a central plank door also under a wood lintel. The interior has not been inspected.
