Bonnymoor And Harthopeburn Cottage

A farmhouse, dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, with adjoining byres and lofts, now divided into two houses. The building is constructed of sandstone and limestone rubble, with some quoins, a boulder plinth, and some ashlar dressings. The roof is stone-flagged. It is two storeys high and originally six bays wide. The two bays on the left have wide stone steps leading to a pair of renewed first-floor doors, set within a flat stone surround with a plinth, and a rough stone lintel above a blocked ground-floor doorway. A recessed doorway with irregular-block jambs is located to the right of the steps, with a flat, Tudor-arched head. The windows vary in style; one bay has a six-pane sash with an 8-pane overlight, set under a flat stone lintel. The three bays on the right have renewed doors to the right of the centre, and plain or late 19th century sashes with rough, flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. The wide sixth bay has a boarded door to the first-floor loft. Three square stone ridge chimneys are positioned at the left end of the building, between the second and third bays, and between the fifth and sixth bays.

The interior of one house features massive beams in the left ground-floor room, one of which sits on a painted, moulded stone corbel. The rear wall of this room is approximately one metre thick. The cottage in the two bays on the left has undergone significant alterations and is considered less architecturally significant.
