Description
The Cottage is a house built around 1840, featuring a roughcast exterior over random rubble. It has a moulded plinth, steeply pitched gabled roofs, overhanging eaves, and plain bargeboards. This double pile house is designed in a picturesque villa style and stands two storeys tall with three gabled bays. The mid-19th century windows include segmental headed two-light casements and rectangular unglazed openings in the gable ends above. On the ground floor, there are segmental headed French windows on the left, two long segmental headed casements on the right, and central double doors that are half glazed with glazing bars. The right side of the house features two similar gables, with one casement window on the left and two on the right, along with a recessed gabled bay that has a monopitch addition. There is also an eight-bay verandah made of cast iron trellis work, which supports an asbestos-covered roof with four gables, returning to the right with five bays and three gables.
