Description
The Cottage is a detached house built around 1850. It features coursed rubble Doulting stone with ashlar quoins. The gable roofs are covered with three courses of plain clay tiles alternating with two courses of fish tail tiles, and they have projecting purlins, boarded soffits, verge boards, and stone ridge tiles. The chimney stack at the right end has a pair of octagonal flues that are linked at the top by a common cap.
The house has two storeys and a four-window front, with the third window set in a projecting gable-roofed, two-storey porch that includes an entrance. The door is vertical boarded and lapped, set in a chamfered stone frame with a flat pointed arch. The windows are two- and three-light, with six- and eight-pane moulded stone mullions and stopped dripmoulds over the ground floor windows.
To the left, there is a lower two-storey range that projects forward, meeting a stepped, tile-coped screen wall that leads to a roofed staircase. The house features a bracketed chimney breast and a cantilevered, tile-hung corner bay with a three-light casement window. There is also a four-light chamfered stone mullion window on the first floor, which has a weathered string course above it.
