Cottage, still in use, built in the later 19th century. It was originally named Chapelgate, and is also known as Piedmonts. Historically, Inver Cottage has had close connections to the Catholic Church next door (NO19SW0051), and was home to the caretaker of the church. The pond to the rear of the property was formerly the quarry where stone for the construction of the church was sourced. It is a single-storey and attic, three-bay cottage constructed from roughly squared and pinned rubble. The grey slate roof has gable stacks. The principal south-east elevation is symmetrical, with a central two-leaf timber panel door with the upper panels glazed, and a rustic gabled porch. There are a pair of piended and canted dormers to the attic, and a timber and glazed lean-to and cat-slide dormer to the north-west (rear) elevation. The interior retains the original room plan of two rooms over two, with a central staircase aligned with length of cottage. There is timber panelling throughout ground floor, either dado or double height, and service bells remain in situ. Local knowledge suggests that the internal timber panelling comes from Mar Lodge (NO08NE0003).
