I’m not sure if this cottage originally stood here or if it was moved to the location, but other than some “modernization” it’s a fairly nice example of the Georgian Cottage form. This enduring hip-roof house type can be found all over the state, from the city to the country, and can be quite plain, or take on decorative elements, most commonly Queen Anne porches and posts. Examples that feature dormers like the one above are often associated with the Queen Anne style and date from the 1880s-1920s, though the style is still popular today.
Splendid old house waiting to be spruced up. Looks to be in good condition, and what a lovely country setting! Great find, Brian!
