Description

Johnny 'Notion' Williamson's House and Outbuildings is a single-storey, 3-bay cottage that features adjoining outbuildings at the north and south, creating an L-plan layout. The cottage has harl-pointed rubble walls, while the outbuildings are constructed from random rubble drystone. The east elevation of the cottage has a centrally located vertically-boarded timber door, with 4-pane timber sash and case windows in the flanking bays. To the south, there is a ruin adjoining the mutual chimney gable, and a square rubble pier is situated between the cottage and a shed to the north. This shed has vertically-boarded timber doors at its north gable and a shallow-pitched felt roof with concrete skew copes. There is also a roofless shed that adjoins at a right angle to the east, featuring a doorway to the left in its east gable. Additionally, there is another shed to the west of the cottage, which has a doorway to the left in its east elevation, and the wallheads have been built up with a modern roof above.
