Preston Cottage

Preston Cottage is a mid-19th century single-storey lodge designed in an L-plan, featuring three bays and a detached single-storey rectangular coach house at the rear. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with a polished ashlar door surround and rybats, along with long and short quoins.

The southeast elevation, which is the principal facade, has a central doorway flanked by pilasters and architraved brackets that support a rectangular projecting canopy. The door is timber panelled and topped with a 2-pane glazed fanlight. There is a single window on either side of the door, with gatepiers adjacent to the main house on both the left and right sides.

On the southwest elevation, the wall of the main house features a central rectangular window, and there is a lean-to at the rear that contains an entrance door. The northwest elevation is not visible as of 2000. The northeast elevation has three regularly placed windows that face the side driveway.

Most of the windows are 9-pane timber sash and case, arranged in a 6 over 3 pattern. The roof is piended and covered with grey slate, featuring zinc ridging. The rainwater goods are buff-coloured cast iron, and there is a central ashlar stack with a projecting neck cope and a single plain can.

The interior was not seen as of 2000.

The coach house is a single-storey rectangular structure made of rubble. Its southeast elevation features a full-height timber sliding door on the left and a boarded door on the right. The roof is also piended and covered with grey slate and zinc ridging.

The boundary walls and gatepiers consist of a low coursed rubble wall surrounding the garden ground, which was previously rendered, topped with semi-circular coping. There are a pair of low square gatepiers with pyramidal caps and a timber gate next to the cottage's southeast elevation, with a larger pier to the southwest. Larger piers to the northeast of the property provide separate pedestrian and vehicular access to the rear coach house, featuring squared gatepiers with projecting neck cope and pyramidal cushioned caps, along with a timber boarded gate that has an arched top.
