Description
This is a late 19th-century single-storey and attic cottage, originally three bays wide. The exterior is painted render, with painted dressings including architraved window surrounds, bracketed sills, quoin strips, and a dentilled eaves course. The main, or east, elevation has a central door topped with a fanlight, and windows in the outer bays. Flat-roofed dormer windows are positioned above the outer bays. The north elevation is blank. A lower gabled addition extends from the rear.
The windows are mostly sash and case, with four panes to the lower sashes, and smaller panes in the dormer windows. The roof is covered in purple slates, with red sandstone coped skews and gablehead stacks.
A low painted boundary wall, topped by decorative iron railings, encloses a small garden to the east, and is punctuated by small, pyramidal-capped square piers.
The cottage was not shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1847, but it appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1892-3 under the name "Broom Hill Cottage." It is situated to the south of Corsewall Mill.
