Description
The Cottage is a circa 1750 cottage built of rubble with a pantile roof and brick end stacks. It is one of a pair of cottages. The two-storey, four-bay facade has irregular mullioned windows with two lights, set in plain stone surrounds. A central door opening is framed by a stone architrave, and now contains a 20th-century half-glazed door. A single-storey, two-bay pent house projects at right angles to the front facade.
