Cottage, still in use, built in circa 1900 with later additions to the rear. It is a single-storey and attic, three-bay cottage paired with Number 25 Slug Road (NO88NE0195). The cottage is constructed from heavily stugged Aberdeen bond ashlar with tooled ashlar dressings, coursed, squared rubble to the sides and rear, base and eaves courses, stone mullions and stop-chamfered arrises and harl and brick extensions. The grey slate roof has coped ashlar gablehead stacks with a full-complement of polygonal cans, ashlar-coped skews with mitre skewputts and square-section, cast-iron downpipes with decorative rainwater hoppers and fixings. The south-west principal elevation is symmetrical. The centre bay has a broad, nine-panelled timber door with flanking pilasters, narrow outer lights and pilastered jambs, all under a dentilled cornice and three-part fanlight with a small, central piended wallhead dormer window above. The flanking bays each have a canted dormer window under a reducing slate roof. The broad, gabled north-west elevation has a single window to the outer bays. Interior features include moulded plasterwork cornices and ceiling roses, picture rails, panelled timber reveals and fire surrounds and architraved and panelled timber doors. An encaustic-tiled hall floor and screen door with patterned glass leads to a stairhall with decorative plasterwork consoles and a dog-leg staircase with decorative cast-iron balusters. The principal ground-floor rooms have paired, round-arched alcoves and flanking fluted columns. The low, coped, harled boundary walls have an ironwork gate.
