Description
Squirrel Cottage is a 2-storey, 2-window house built in the late Georgian style. Its front is pebble-dashed and painted pink, featuring smooth-rendered architraves and rusticated pilasters. The house has a slate roof and a tall roughcast chimney stack on the left side. The entrance is offset to the right, reflecting its vernacular origins, and includes a replacement fielded-panel door with 2 glazed panels set in a shallow gabled porch. The windows are mostly renewed 12-pane horned sashes, except for the upper right window, which is an 8-pane horned sash in a canted oriel.
At the rear, there are replaced windows and a long 2-storey rear wing. Inside, the room on the left side retains a stop-chamfered cross beam and a fireplace with a 19th-century moulded surround, but the rest of the interior has been altered.
