Description

Trevor Tower Cottage is a 17th-century building featuring faced rubble sandstone walls and a red clay tiled roof, topped with three axial, ashlared stone chimneys. The cottage is one-and-a-half storeys high and has a four-window range with half-hipped gables. There are dormer gablets above the first and second windows, and a half-hipped gable above the third window. The windows are generally segmental headed, except for the upper left-hand and upper central dormer windows. On the ground floor, the windows from left to right include a 6-pane sash, twin 4-pane sashes with a mullion, twin 4-pane sashes with a mullion, and a double 6-pane casement. The three upper floor windows are all 12-pane sashes. There are plain timber boarded doors situated between the first and second windows, and between the second and third windows. The rear elevation features a half-hipped gablet. Additionally, there is a now-blocked underground passage that once led to Trevor Tower, starting at the foot of the retaining wall adjacent to the northeast angle of the house. The interior was not available for inspection.
