Description
This is a late 19th century picturesque cottage, originally a small single-story, three-bay building. The walls are harled. Canted and gabled bay windows are positioned on either side of the central door, and are linked by intricate trellising and decorative bargeboards creating a recessed porch. Matching bargeboards adorn the weatherboarded gables. A square bay window is present on the east elevation. The windows have four panes of glazing. The roof is corrugated iron and features decorative cast-iron cresting, with a rear stack.
