Description

The building is a former smithy's cottage from the mid-19th century, designed as a single-storey, three-bay structure with a symmetrical rectangular plan. The exterior is harled.

On the east (principal) elevation, there is a part-glazed timber panelled door with a letterbox fanlight located in the central bay, flanked by a window in each of the side bays. The north and south side elevations feature blank gabled walls.

The windows are 4-pane timber sash and case types. The roof is covered with graded grey stone tiles, featuring a stone ridge, small rooflights on the east pitch, harled gablehead stacks with cornices, concrete skews, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior was not seen in 1997.

Adjacent to the cottage is a rectangular-plan, harl-pointed former smithy, which has been converted into a garage. This structure is located to the south of the cottage and has a modern addition attached to its south side. The original block features a large square-headed entrance on the east elevation, with a roof of graded grey stone tiles and a corrugated iron roof on the addition. The garage also has concrete skews and predominantly cast-iron rainwater goods.
