Description
Heather Cottage is a simple late Georgian cottage constructed of rendered stone, topped with a Welsh slate roof and featuring yellow brick end stacks. The cottage has a symmetrical front with a two-window arrangement on either side of a central door. The first floor windows are 9-pane sashes, while the ground floor windows are 12-pane sashes, all with cambered heads, narrow glazing bars, and stone sills, with some original glass still in place. At the rear, there is an outshut. Inside, the layout includes a central entrance plan with a staircase that rises from the hall.
