Description
This is an early 19th-century cottage, likely built as part of a row, and representing a remodelling of an earlier property. The exterior is rendered and colourwashed over rubble, with a Welsh slate roof featuring a plain gable facing north, and a continuation of the roofline to the south. A tall brick chimney stack sits on a stone base.
The cottage is two storeys high and has two bays. The first floor has small-pane casement windows: a two-light window in the first bay and a single-light window in the second. The lower ground floor of the first bay features a shallow-angled bay window with four-pane sidelights and an adapted six-pane centre light. A boarded door is set in a plain opening on the second bay, with a 20th-century sidelight added to the left. The interior was not inspected at the time of listing.
