August 2013. Heritage assessment. The Cottage was originally an early 19th century open-sided shelter for animal husbandry which was converted to living accommodation in 1995. The building is timber framed with late 20th century weather boarding, four modern windows and a late 20th century door in the Eastern elevation. It has five bays defined by the tie-beams and low brick plinths. The Western elevation has two late 20th century split doors. The original slate tile roofing has been removed. The interior of the cottage has been comprehensively vandalised, and the walls are black with damp, giving the effect of having been burnt (this is not the case). A kitchen and bathroom at the Eastern end have been destroyed, although debris remains. The walls are late 20th century machined studwork, plaster-boarded and with a blue plastic membrane and Rockwood insulation. <1>
