Description

Garden Cottage is a large two-storey cottage, featuring a two-window range on the front that faces north. The entrance is located on the right and is sheltered by a large porch. The cottage has a hipped roof with one central chimney and an additional end chimney on the right side. The centre section of the left end wall protrudes approximately 1 meter.

The exterior is constructed from hammer-dressed local limestone, with large courses at the quoins and masonry brought-to-courses elsewhere. The chimneys have a capping course, and the roof is covered with slate, featuring lead rolls at the hips and ridge. The cottage also has cast-iron rainwater gutters and lead downpipes, with the rainwater heads adorned with lead decorations of raffled leaves.

The upper windows extend above the eaves line and are topped with dormer roofs. The lower windows are wider than those above and have simple stone label moulds of square section. Although all the windows now contain standard-section steel casements, they feature small panes that are consistent with the architectural style of the house.

There is an early extension at the rear left, along with later extensions at the back. The front of the cottage has a lawn but lacks an enclosing wall or hedge.
