History

Probably early C19. Picturesque cottage on a walk from Penpont. Perhaps built as garden structure, but apparently lived in until Second World War. Largely collapsed 2004. The curved end walls appear to be a deliberate reference to the Lodge at Penpont.

The S end has a blind Gothic doorway with false door. Tall stone chimney at N end. The rear wall has entirely collapsed with most of the roof.

Interior ruined. Plastered colourwashed walls, pine roof structure, some joist holes for loft floor.
