Description
Annstead House Cottage and attached outbuildings is a house dating from approximately 1810, possibly with an earlier core. It is constructed of painted ashlar with a Lakeland and Welsh slate roof. The building has a nearly symmetrical design, featuring a central block, side wings, and projecting end wings.
The central block is two storeys high and has three bays, with a projecting bay containing a pedimented doorway. The door is a two-leaf, six-panel design with an overlight, set within a doorcase featuring Tuscan pilasters. A sash window sits above the door, and there is a blank oval feature in the gable. Two-pane sash windows are set in plain reveals with projecting sills; a lower right window is a later 19th-century two-light insert. The roof is hipped and has two corniced ridge stacks.
The side wings, two bays to the left and three to the right, have similar windows. A projecting wing to the left, originally a harness room and forge and now garages, has a boarded door with a steeply-pitched triangular head, and three small, blocked granary windows below the eaves. The gable ends of the projecting wings feature blank Venetian windows and blank oval features in the gables.
Inside, the cottage has six-panel doors and shutters, along with two early 19th-century fireplaces. These fireplaces have architraves, modillion cornices, and original iron grates with fluting; one is decorated with pharaohs’ heads instead of the usual paterae.
