Description

Lavender Cottage is a single-storey, irregular four-bay cottage dating from the late 18th to early 19th century. It is constructed from harled rubble with boulder footings. The cottage features an off-centre door and two small windows to the right, along with a similar window at the centre rear. To the left of the entrance, there is a larger window with 12-pane glazing. At the west gable, there is a small lean-to timber extension. The cottage has end stacks and a corrugated iron roof, which likely covers a former thatched roof.
