Description
Catchpenny is an early 19th century, single-storey cottage with a symmetrical rectangular plan, located on a steeply falling corner site below road level. The exterior is harled with painted stone margins around the openings and features a battered base course.
On the southwest elevation, which serves as the entrance, there is a centrally located doorway with a deep-set boarded door. To the left and right of the doorway are single windows. The northeast elevation, or rear, has single windows at the outer left and right, along with two small windows in the center.
The cottage has 4-pane glazing sash and case windows on the southwest side and small-pane glazing patterns on the sash and case windows at the rear. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes a double cat-slide dormer on the northeast side. Harled gablehead stacks are present on the northwest and southeast sides, each topped with a single moulded octagonal can, and the gables are coped.
