Description
Polly's Cottage is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of regularly coursed lias stone and features a slate roof. The original layout was a two-unit plan. The building stands two storeys high with an attic and has a two-window range of casements beneath wooden lintels. The central entrance has been blocked. The cottage has ashlar gable parapets and brick stacks at each end. There is a 19th-century extension to the left, while the extension to the right is not of special architectural interest. A blank tablet is located on the left gable. Inside, there is an open fireplace with a chamfered bressumer above and chamfered ceiling beams.
