Description

Spray Cottage is a building dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed of small coursed stone with large quoins on the left side. The roof is made of Welsh slate and features two late 19th-century dormers with bargeboards. The cottage has two storeys and two windows; one is a replaced sash window with glazing bars, while the other is an early 19th-century tripartite window that has a small opening section and is set in a lengthened original opening for a stone-mullioned window. The ground floor windows have boarded shutters. There is a small pent porch with a six-panel door and a blocked original window on the left side.
