Description
Dairy Bridge Cottage is a cottage, likely built in the early 19th century. It features squared rough-faced stone with cut dressings and a graduated Lakeland slate roof. The north elevation has one storey above a basement and consists of three bays. There are steps leading up to a central part-glazed six-panel door, with renewed nine-pane sash windows in the end bays. The basement includes a 20th-century glazed door on the left, a boarded door on the far right, and two six-pane casements in between. The hipped roof has a stepped-and-banded ridge stack.
The left side of the cottage displays a canted bay with a central French window beneath a round arch, which opens onto an iron balcony built out over a cliff. There are flanking boarded windows and a moulded block cornice, with twelve-pane casements located below the balcony. The right side shows a blocked tripartite window beneath a pedimented hood supported by block corbels. The rear elevation features a centrally blocked door under a pent slated hood on block corbels, with two renewed sash windows on each side.
While the cottage appears to be early 19th century, a 'tea room' at this location is mentioned in Arthur Young's book, "A Six Months Tour through the North of England," published in 1770.
