Description
Diana Cottage is a one-and-a-half storey, cube-shaped cottage built from whitewashed rubble stone and topped with a thatch roof. The gable end features a large stepped external chimney stack, and to the right of this is a half-lit door that has been renewed in its original doorway. The right side wall includes an enlarged three-light casement window. At the rear gable end, there is a low single-storey projection offset to the right, also with a thatch roof, which has a small window at the lower left and an attic casement window above.
Inside, the original fireplace is notable for its stop-chamfered surround and a segmental-chamfered lintel.
