Description
Talfan Cottage is a single-storey building constructed of whitewashed rubble stone, topped with a close-eaved corrugated iron roof. It features two brick chimney stacks, one located on the ridge and the other on the right end wall. The cottage has a double fronted design with a boarded door situated between two 4-pane sash windows. There is a third similar sash window in the left end section, which is beyond the chimney stack, indicating that this part is an addition, as evidenced by a straight joint. The end walls are rendered, while the rear is made of rubble stone.
