Description
Poultry Cottage is a double fronted cottage from the 19th century, featuring one-and-a-half storeys and a lean-to at the rear. The exterior is constructed of random rubble faced in roughcast, with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. There is an external brick stack on the left and an end brick stack on the right, both topped with tall patterned flues that were likely leftover from the construction of Leighton Hall.
The front has half dormers with small-pane casements beneath curly barge boards and spiked finials. The lower storey includes cross-windows with small-pane iron frame casements, each with hood moulds, and the wall is made up of brickwork below each sill. The slightly offset doorway features a similar hood mould and a door with Gothic vertical panelling. The lean-to at the rear has iron frame casements that match those at the front.
Inside, the cottage is laid out as a two-unit dwelling with a central straight staircase that has winders at the bottom. The room on the right includes an inglenook fireplace with a pine surround.
