Cottage, still in use, built in 1855, probably by William Smith, with later additions and alterations. There is a small outbuilding, possibly formerly a wash-house, to the north. The main cottage is a single-storey and attic gabled cottage with Tudor details, constructed from squared, variegated granite with pinning (cherry caulking) at intervals, a partial base course, chamfered arrises and timber mullions. There is plate glass glazing in sash and case windows, four-pane to a piend-roofed slate-hung dormer to the rear. The roof has purple and grey slates, modern rooflights and stone stacks. The principal gables have decorative timber barge boards with kingposts and attenuated finials. The south-east elevation has a broad, off-centre gabled bay with a hoodmoulded bipartite window and a smaller bipartite in the gablehead. This is flanked to the other side by a slightly recessed return of the entrance bay with a small window and a two-pane fanlight to door. There is a verandah to one out bay, with a gabled, open timber porch on tree trunk columns, hoop railings and a bipartite behind. The other outer bay is a sympathetic later addition with a recessed with bipartite window. The north-east elevation has an advanced gabled bay to one side with a bipartite window and an indication in masonry of the gable having been raised for the attic. Recessed to the other side is a bipartite. The north-west elevation also has an advanced gabled bay to one side that is blank. At the centre is a less advanced gabled bay, overstepping the projecting bay to the side with a door flanked by two small irregular windows. The extension to the other side has a recessed bipartite. At the south-west a lean-to conservatory abutts the gable end. The outbuilding is gabled and rectangular-plan, and is constructed from rubble granite with harl pointing.
