The cottage is no longer is use as dwelling, having been superseded by a modern farmhouse.

Door offset to L, flanked by 4-pane sash windows (in v. poor condition). Door to L side of rear elevation (to kitchen). The modern lean-to to R has rendered (brick?) walls and a corrugated asbestos roof.

Narrow inglenook fireplace to R. External door to rear wall. Boarded door to centre of partition leading to bedroom. Timber boarding to reveals.
