Cottage at Valle Crucis Abbey

The cottage at Valle Crucis Abbey is a stone building that has been rendered and whitewashed, topped with a slate roof that is hipped at the north end and features raised coping at the south. It has two floors, including a basement. A flight of four steps leads up to an 18th-century six-panelled door that is sheltered by a flat canopy. The cottage has later timber two-light casement windows with top lights, leaded glazing, and stone sills. Notably, there is a large canted bay window with twelve-paned sashes at the north end, which overlooks the fishponds and previously offered views up the valley towards Eliseg's Pillar. The building has one off-centre brick stack and a larger external stack at the south end, along with a small iron window that ventilates the storage area at the rear.

Inside, the main floor features two heated rooms, with the smaller room at the north providing picturesque views. There is a recess in the back wall and a fireplace on the south gable wall, flanked by windows. The undercroft includes a larger kitchen where food was prepared for visiting guests, as well as a smaller cobbled store room and a niche in the wall.
