Exterior
Cottage, whitewashed rubble stone with slate roofs, partly grouted. Whitewashed end stacks with dripstones. Single storey and loft, double fronted with ledged door between two C20 plate glass windows. Stone slab lintels. Altered outbuilding to left with slightly lower grouted slate roof and C20 window.
