Description
Derry Cottage is a two-unit cottage with a loft, facing south towards the road. The parlour is located on the west side and the kitchen on the east. The front and ends are rendered and colour-washed. There is a large rendered end-chimney on the east gable and a smaller rendered end-chimney on the west gable. The front features two hornless sash windows, each with twelve panes, and a centrally placed six-panelled door with bolection mouldings. On the east gable, there is a small loft window towards the rear with four panes, while the west gable has a larger sash loft window towards the front, also with four panes, dating from the late 19th century.
An unusual front verandah is supported by four timber posts, which are spaced unevenly, placing the two intermediate posts close to the door. There are seats framed into the posts on either side of the door. The posts support an ornamental eaves with a decorative eaves beam and a fascia of vertical boarding above, along with ornately carved bargeboards. The roof is currently covered with corrugated steel sheeting, arranged in two lengths per slope and lacking guttering. It is unclear if an earlier roof covering remains underneath. The roof covering, bargeboards, eaves, and posts are all painted red.
Additionally, there is a 20th-century single-storey extension on the east side.
