Description
Lavender Cottage, with its boundary wall, is a cottage that was formerly two separate units in a row of ten, likely built in the late 18th century. It is constructed from local stone rubble and features exposed timber lintels. The roof is covered with double Roman clay tiles and has a west gable that ends with the base of a pinnacle. The cottage is one storey high with an attic and consists of four bays. There is a projecting stone entrance porch with a tiled roof over the third bay. Most windows are 20th-century timber casements with leaded lights, although there is a French door in the first bay. The upper windows are set in gables with felted flat roofs. The interior has not been seen. This cottage is the most heavily restored in the row and has group value. The front boundary wall, made of rubble stonework and standing 1.2 metres high, is important to the setting of both the house and the row.
