Cadw's description
Location
Located on the south side of Frog Lane (B 5069) in its own garden and set back from the road behind a low brick wall with iron gate and stone piers.
History
One of two almost identical early C19 estate workers cottages on Frog Lane, said to have been part of the Broughton Hall estate, and in ownership of Elizabeth Ann Hanson, of Bowling Bank Farm, in 1830.
Exterior
Rectangular single storey cottage, plus attic, of red brick with yellow brick and stone dressings under slate roof. Central brick chimney stack with dressings. Two Victorian Jacobethan style windows with stone hood moulds, and lozenge-paned leading. Three-lights to the left, single light to the right. Further attic window to each gable end. Modern door.
Reason for designation
Listed, together with its pair, as good examples of C19 improved workers cottages.
