Description

This is a mid-19th century cottage with an attached stable block and gingang. The cottage and stable block are constructed of rubble stone with tooled and margined dressings. The cottage has a stone slate roof, while the stable block has Lakeland slates and the gingang has Welsh slates. A brick stack rises from the ridge of the cottage, with further stacks on the stable block and gingang.

The south elevation has a pattern of two, one, and two bays. The two-storey central section has a boarded door with a four-pane sash window to the right, and two matching sash windows above. To the left is a section with two segmental arches; one has been infilled with a part-glazed panel, and the other contains a boarded door with a two-pane overlight. The right-hand section has a stable door, a four-pane sash window, and a segmental arch containing boarded double doors. The roof is hipped. The left return shows the cottage with a boarded door in an alternating-block surround, and first-floor six-pane sash windows. A similar door is present in a stable to the right. The projecting central gingang features six rectangular piers and a conical roof with a finial.

Inside the stable, original stalls remain, including cast-iron posts with ball finials, tall railed partitions, and boarded stall divisions with a swept top rail. This is an unusual example of a gingang which was used for meal preparation rather than threshing corn.
