Building record 1396200000 - Canal Cottage, Halton Village

The majority of the historic buildings within Halton are orientated towards the main road which runs through the heart of the village. The exception is Canal Cottage which is positioned gable-on to the road and presents its principal elevation to the canal. To the south-east of Lower Farmhouse is Canal Cottage. It is a very prominently positioned building adjacent to the canal and gable-on to the main road. It is an attractive 19th century cottage with a distinctive mansard roof, the only example of this roof form in the village. The range closest to the road is rendered with small-paned wooden casement windows irregularly arranged on the principal elevation, and a multi-casement catslide dormer within the lower roof plane. A simple two-storey weatherboarded lean-to adds interest to the principal elevation and prominent chimneystacks dominate the roofline adding interest to the outline of the building. This is a local building of note within the Conservation Area of Halton. (B1).
