Description

On the south elevation, there is a modern part-glazed door located in the right bay. To the left, there is a window with an attic window that breaks the eaves above. The north elevation features a blank wall with a single window positioned to the outer left at ground level. The west elevation has a blank crowstepped gabled wall.
The cottage has modern timber-framed windows with hopper top lights. The roof is made of Caithness slate and includes a stone ridge, a harled coped gablehead stack on the west side, a common ridge stack on the east side, and uPVC rainwater goods.
The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1997.
