Description
Briardene Cottage is a two-storey house constructed of rubble and colourwashed, featuring a corrugated roof that replaces the original thatch. It has chimneys at both ends and in the center. The front of the house is asymmetrical, with a doorway on the left side that has two windows above it and a window on each side. On the right side, there is another doorway with a small window above it. There is also a small lean-to on the right.
At the rear, the cottage has three stone buttresses and two deeply-set windows on the first floor, along with three deeply-set windows on the ground floor. Inside, the main room contains a fireplace with a stop-chamfered beam, and above the fireplace, there is framing for a charnel box. To the left of the fireplace, the beginnings of a stone spiral stair can be seen, and there is also a stop-chamfered beam on the ceiling.
