Estate cottage, circa 1780 for Richard Pennant 1st Baron Penrhyn, probably built as part of the Winnington Estate improvements, of which Samuel Wyatt was architect of the Hall. Red-brown English garden-wall bond brick; gabled Welsh grey slate roof. One storey and attic, double-fronted. Door of six panels fielded on the inner face with pointed-arched intersecting-tracery fanlight; a casement to each side of two four-pane lights beneath the transom and a pointed arch above it with Y-tracery; a small wing to each side of main block has a blank pointed-arched opening filled with a grey slate panel; and corbelled brick verge to a lean-to roof. Ovolo brick eaves cornice to main block; replaced bargeboards to each end gable which has a tall two-flue flush chimney with projecting bands. Two casements of two two-pane lights in each gable, above the wing's lean-to roof. The rear has later lean-to outshut with no features of special interest and a four-pane landing casement. The interior has doors of six fielded panels to the ground floor, a simple dog-leg stair with stick balusters and moulded rail, all intact. The attic has broad-boarded doors; both floors have iron HL hinges and blacksmith-made latches.
