The rear rooms project either side behind the front. The main doorway is to the left of the angle between the front and rear sections. Position of stairs not known.

Main roof is tall, steeply-pitched and hipped both ends on front and rear sections. Interior not inspected. Castle Cottage is part of Lutyens's Castle Drogo scheme.
