Exterior: Low brick walls to the garden immediately in front of the house with iron railings with verticals of square section with elaborate spear finails ornamented with scrolls; similar design to garden gate. The gate piers flanking the gateway to the cottage are fluted columns with depressed bulbous finials, one is stamped Hill and Smith, Baterley Hill.

Included for group value with Portobello and a contribution to the streetscape of an outstandingly attractive village.
