Description

Trewetha Cottage is a house that underwent remodelling in the early 19th century, originally built as an earlier property. It features a rendered exterior over rubble, a clay pantiled roof with coped gables, and a brick chimney stack. The cottage has a two-unit front range, with a larger heated room on the left side.

The exterior is two storeys high and has two bays. It includes sash windows with 12 panes and exposed sash boxes in plain openings, with a double unit in the ground floor bay on the right. Between the bays is a four-flush-panel door topped with a slim rectangular fanlight in a segmental-arched opening, which is adorned with a timber open pediment hood supported by console brackets. There is a single casement window in both the north and south gables at ground level, and an outshot at the rear. The north gable features a small piece of white marble with an inscription that likely dates to the early 19th century, reading "Richd Nicholls Mason/Priest Row Wells (? his mason's mark)/Sarah Nicholls Dealer/ in Tea Coffee Tobacco/Pepper Snuff."

The interior has not been inspected.
