Description

Colwyn Cottage is a small, rubble-built manse with a gabled design, positioned gable-on to the street. It stands two storeys high and features a slate roof with plain bargeboards. The entrance is located on the right and has a modern boarded door. To the left of the entrance is a 12-pane 19th-century replacement sash window with a projecting slate sill. The upper floor has a smaller window that is similar in style. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
