Description
Oak Cottage is a two-storey house built of stone rubble, which has been rendered and painted. The main south elevation features cement render, and the roof is covered with Welsh slate, complemented by brick chimneys. The house has a single depth plan with a rear service wing.
On the first floor, there are four window bays, including three sash windows with glazing bars, arranged as 6 over 6 pane sashes with horns, alongside one blind panel. The ground floor features sash windows and a doorway that includes a six-panel door with a rectangular light above it. The roof is plain and gabled, with two ridge stacks: one located in the hearth passage position and the other on the right gable. The gable end facing the road has a small window below and a taking-in door above. The rear elevation is mostly blind, except for a single-storey gabled kitchen wing that has a sash window with glazing bars and a ledged door in the east wall.
The interior details were not available during the resurvey, but the overall appearance of the house suggests it follows a hearth passage plan.
