This small-scale cottage is of considerable social and historic interest, representing the modest-scale dwellings of the majority of the population of the village. Although renovated and extended in the late twentieth century leading to the loss of much of the original materials, the original form of the cottage is nevertheless discernible, while the additional return to north-east does not detract considerably from the overall design. Important early salient features that do survive include the slate roof and decorative timber bargeboards, while the re-instatement of timber fenestration might restore a more accurate representation of the original appearance - the railings to front (south-west), on the other hand, are good examples of early surviving decorative iron work. The cottage forms an attractive feature on streetscape on the approach road into the village from the west.
