Aqueduct Cottage at Goytre Wharf

A tiny cottage built close against the canal emabankment and presumably intended for a lengthman. It is constructed of random local sandstone rubble with red brick dressings and Welsh slate roofs. An L-shaped plan with a main two storey block with a slightly lower extension and a single storey kitchen wing. This could be all one build or perhaps partly mid/late C19 to correspond with the window alterations. The entrance is on the inner angle of the L and has a later timber porch into the main block. This is gabled with slate roof; above this is a 2 + 2 casement with a brick arched head, a later C19 alteration. The lower wing on the left is blind but has a plain doorway with brick arched head. To the right the kitchen wing has a single light window and a gable roof with large end stack. The left gable of the main block has a 3-light casement below and a 2-light one above, all as before. The rear elevation has a 2-light casement to the ground floor of the lower section and one to each floor of the higher section. The gable into the bank is blind but has a partly protruding stack. The main block has one roof slightly above the other. The higher part has end stacks which have been rebuilt.

Interior not available for inspection at resurvey, but it must have very small rooms.
