Description

Lake Cottage and Bryn Derwen are a pair of symmetrically planned cottages, built in irregularly coursed rock-faced slate masonry with a slate roof. They feature a shared central chimney stack made of both stone and red brick. The roof is adorned with a ridge of decorative red crested tiles. Each cottage has prominent timber bargeboards on the shared front gable, which is half-hipped, as well as on the side gables. Open porches are located at the front corners of each cottage.

The front of each cottage includes a boarded door and a small window within the porch. Above the porch, there is a four-pane sash window with a stone sill and lintel. Below, a three-light sash window also has a stone sill, lintel, and relieving arch. On the side elevation, there is a three-light upper window with a stone sill and lintel, along with a small attic light.

In front of the cottages, there is a distinctive railing made from an unusual lattice type, cut from iron or steel plate and bolted together.
