Smithy Cottage with Attached Smithy and Outbuilding

Smithy Cottage with an attached smithy and outbuilding dates from the early 18th century, with alterations in the 19th century, and an outbuilding constructed around 1840. The cottage and smithy are largely built of roughly-squared stone with later, tooled and margined dressings. The outbuilding is of squared, tooled stone with tooled and margined quoins and dressings. The roofs are covered in Welsh slate, except for the outbuilding which has a 20th-century metal sheet roof.

The south elevation is divided into three sections. The cottage on the left has a boarded door with a two-pane overlight in a later rustic porch. It is flanked by four-pane sash windows with 19th-century lintels and projecting sills. Coped gables are present and there are small stepped end stacks. The lower smithy in the centre has boarded double doors, a boarded window to the left, and a blacksmith's window to the right, all set within 19th-century surrounds of alternating blocks. The right gable of the smithy has a reduced stack. The outbuilding on the right has boarded double doors under a segmental arch on the left, and a boarded door and window on the right; there is a coped right gable.

Inside the smithy, the original forge remains with arched recesses on either side of the hearth, and a massive, roughly-chamfered lintel. The bellows are now located in the adjacent outbuilding, which likely originally served as stables for the former Ogle Arms Inn.
