Description

Garden Cottage is a house dating from around 1700, which was remodeled in the 20th century. It is constructed of coursed squared ironstone with ashlar quoins and features a roof made of corrugated asbestos tiles, along with 19th-century octagonal brick stacks. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a total of four bays. The windows on the ground floor are modern three-light casements with wooden lintels, except for the second bay from the left, which has a two-light casement window. The first floor has a similar window arrangement. The gable ends are coped, and the entrance is located at the rear of the house. The interior has not been inspected.
