Description

Phantassie is a building from the early and later 19th century, consisting of an earlier single-storey, three-bay rectangular-plan crowstepped cottage and a later single-storey house with an attic, forming a T-plan. The cottage is harled with stone cills, while the house features squared and snecked rubble with ashlar margins, and harl on the sides and rear.

The southwest elevation of the cottage is symmetrical, with a central door flanked by windows in the outer bays. The southeast elevation of the house is also symmetrical, showcasing a slated porch supported by narrow cast-iron columns, with a central door that has a plate glass fanlight above it, and windows in the flanking bays topped by piended dormer windows.

On the northwest elevation, which adjoins the cottage, there is a flat-roofed porch with a door on the return to the right of the central bay. The cottage projects from the off-centre left, with windows in the outer bays and a window above the centre that breaks the eaves into a catslide dormer.

The building features 8-, 9-, and 12-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, except for the left bay of the cottage, which has a top-opening timber window. The cottage is covered with clay pantiles, while the house has grey slates. The chimneys are coped harl and ashlar stacks with a full complement of cans, polygonal in shape for the house. The house also has plain bargeboarding and overhanging eaves.
