Description
Hundalee Cottage is an earlier 19th century building that incorporates earlier fabric. It is a single-storey and attic cottage designed in a picturesque Tudor style, constructed from cream sandstone rubble. The layout is U-shaped, featuring a small internal court.
The front elevation has three symmetrical bays, with an additional bay set slightly back to the left, all adorned with hoodmoulds. The principal block features an advanced gabled central bay, with a door at ground level flanked by narrow lights beneath a single stepped hoodmould. Above the door, there is a single window in the gable. The flanking bays each have tripartite bow windows with flat roofs, and there are single window gabled stone dormers that break the eaves. The left bay includes a small single window.
On the northeast elevation, there is a blank gable-end to the left with a blocked window in the gable. To the right, there are two bays featuring a single window and a bipartite window at ground level, along with single windows in gabled stone wallhead dormers above. Set back to the right is a modern garden room that fronts a double garage.
The southwest elevation has a gable-end to the right with a small window in the gable. To the left is a low harled service range that includes two doors, a shuttered opening, a pair of arrowslits, and a pair of modern garages at the far left.
The northwest elevation was not visible in 1993, as it is largely obscured by the service wing. It features 12-pane timber sash and case windows, with plate glass at ground level in the front. The roof is new and covered with red tiles, featuring solid timber bargeboards and eaves, along with harled stacks.
The interior was not seen in 1933.
The property is also marked by three square ashlar gatepiers with pyramidal caps and wrought-iron gates, flanked by a short stretch of dwarf wall with similar railings.
