Description
This is a detached cottage, likely built in the late 18th century, located 50 metres northeast of Vale House. It is constructed from local lias stone that is roughly cut and squared, and features a thatched roof with plain gables and stone chimney stacks at the center and ends. The cottage has two storeys and two bays, with small-pane casement windows beneath timber lintels; the upper windows are of an older style. There is a boarded door in a heavy frame between the bays, which is sheltered by an open timber and thatch porch. The gable at the north end has been rebuilt. The interior has not been seen.
Adjacent to the cottage, 4 metres to the north, is a small stone stable with a thatched roof, which has a central stable door on the roadside elevation and a loft door in the south gable. Behind the house, there is a small circular building topped with a conoid thatch roof and featuring a boarded door, which may have been an old privy.
