Full Description
Cottage on the Eden House estate (MAB16731). It is a single-storey and attic, 2-bay, east-facing cottage, formerly a school. It is constructed of harl pointed rubble with tooled granite ashlar dressings with wide chamfers to the margins. The entrance is slightly lower, and there is a single bay gable wing at the north gable, constructed to accommodate the later internal staircase. There are two windows in the east front and two gabletted wall head dormers. The gablets are decorated with diminutive ball finials. A stone forestair clasps the southeast angle of the building leading to the first-floor entrance (now blocked and altered to a window). There is a granite bellcote at the south gable apex, with a weathervane and bell, and a ball finial at the north gable apex. Both original gables are crowstepped. There is also a centre ridge chimney stack with deep moulded cope, with a stone roof ridge on a slate roof.
