Description
The Cottage is a pair of cottages, now functioning as a house, built with painted stucco and featuring imitation stone slates on deep-eaved roofs. There are two yellow brick ridge stacks, and the eaves are supported by brackets. The cottages are one and a half storeys tall, with each cottage having a pair of casement windows on each floor at the front. The windows are renewed timber lattice-glazed casements with stone sills and stone hoodmoulds. The upper windows break the eaves under gables that have stone finials. The end walls are adorned with bargeboards and finials. There is a porch on the northern end with a half-glazed door in the side wall, and a single light with a hood on each floor to the right. The southern end does not have a porch, but features a single light on each floor to both the left and right. The property is not available for inspection.
