Description

Chimney Cottage is a late 18th century or early 19th century service range, believed to have originally served as stables for the Bowen family at Waunifor. The building is constructed of rubble stone and is two stories high, featuring a long range with a hipped roof and a prominent rubble stone stack at the northern end.

The façade includes three widely spaced windows, each with cut stone voussoirs above the cambered heads and keystones. The windows have slate sills, with three upper windows fitted with small-paned casement pairs. The outer windows on the lower level have 12-pane sashes that are four panes wide, and there is a centrally located ledged door. To the right of the door, there is an additional 12-pane window with a timber lintel, which was likely added later. A lean-to structure is present at the northern end of the building.

The rear courtyard is enclosed by rubble stone walls on the west and north sides. The northern wall features five recessed shelves for bees, while the western wall has two similar shelves. Inside, there is a large fireplace at the northern end, complete with a timber beam and a bread oven, as well as a dog-leg staircase.
