Description

This is a small stone-faced cottage located just east of Minrheidol. The house features a partially whitewashed exterior, a slate roof with close eaves, and a brick chimney on a large projecting rubble stone chimney breast at the right end. To the left of the cottage is a door with a bi-colour painted brick head, and to the right is a 12-pane sash window with a similar brick head. Above this window, on the first floor, is a 4-pane sash window set under the eaves. The area above the door may have been rebuilt and is not whitewashed. The right end wall is windowless and made of rubble stone, painted to the mid-height of the first floor, with a projecting chimney breast that slopes in at the top leading to the brick chimney shaft.
