Description
The Cottage, with front boundary railings attached, is a detached cottage dating from the 18th century, previously known as Peel House. It is constructed of ham stone rubble and features a scalloped clay tiled roof with stepped coped gables and ashlar chimney stacks. The building has a 'T'-plan layout, is two storeys high, and consists of three bays. It includes leaded casement windows with timber lintels, with three-light windows in the outer bays and a two-light window in the centre bay of the first floor. The ground floor features a part-glazed door of early 19th century design, set in a deep rendered recess under a concrete lintel.
Attached to the north gable is a matching extension that is slightly lower and narrower, which has a casement window in the north gable and a 20th century two-light casement window in the shallower gables, along with a matching projection at the rear. Extending from each corner of the house and along the front boundary, about two metres from the house, is a cast-iron post-and-rail fence, which includes a short section of hoop rail fencing and a matching gate opposite the doorway.
