Description
The cottage and stables, located approximately 100 metres west of Kimblesworth Grange farmhouse, date from the late 18th century to early 19th century and are currently used for storage and garages. The building is constructed from thinly-rendered sandstone rubble, featuring some large square blocks that may have been reused, along with quoins and ashlar and brick dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof with brick chimneys.
The structure is two storeys high and consists of seven bays. The three-bay house on the left has a boarded central door with a three-pane overlight beneath a flat stone lintel. There are similar lintels above the flanking sash windows, with the left window renewed to a nine-pane design and the right a sixteen-pane sash. On the first floor, the windows have wood lintels at the eaves, with four-pane sashes on the left and centre, and a horizontal sliding sash with glazing bars on the right.
The stables feature two pairs of boarded vehicle doors on the left, a flat stone lintel over a blocked door in the sixth bay, and a wood lintel over a small square window on the right. Above this, there are three fixed lights with renewed glazing bars, which have segmental brick arches, and a fourth window with a wood lintel. All sills project. The roof has two pitches, with the lower pitch over the stables, and includes a red brick chimney at the left end, a yellow brick chimney to the right of the third bay, and another yellow brick chimney at the right end. The right gable of the house is higher than the roofing material, while the left return displays some large stone blocks, with triangular stones forming the edges of both return gables.
The rear of the building features a catslide roof with two pitches over one-storey outshuts to the house, each pitch extending across half of the house. The stables have vent slits on the first floor. Inside the house, there is a cast-iron kitchen range, marked with the founder's mark 'Brumell Newcastle' on the round-doored oven and over the fire, along with the initials TE above the door.
