Description
Easter House and Cottage is a former single house that has been subdivided. It dates from the 17th century and underwent alterations in the late 18th century and early 19th century, with rear extensions added in the early 19th century and mid-20th century. The building is constructed of random rubble and features a Welsh slate roof. It has two storeys and irregular window arrangements.
There are three steps leading up to an almost central doorway, which has a flattened Tudor arch in a chamfered surround and is topped with a hoodmould. To the left of the doorway, there is a ground-floor window that also has a hoodmould, one original jamb, and a 12-pane Yorkshire sash. The first floor has three windows, all of which are Yorkshire sashes, while the other windows are 20th-century casements set in early 19th-century openings.
On the left rear, there is an early 19th-century three-bay extension, and to the right, there is a single-storey, one-bay extension that features a Victorian wall letter-box. The building has massive external stacks on each gable and a steeply-pitched roof with flat coping.
Inside, the property retains old beams. The left room on the ground floor has a large fireplace with a segmental head and a partly-blocked brick bread oven. The right room on the ground floor also features a large fireplace with a moulded surround, bar stops, and a flattened Tudor arch. There is a smaller, similar fireplace in a first-floor room.
