Description
Swarland Hall Cottage is a late 19th-century electricity generating house that has been converted into a cottage. It is constructed of squared stone with tooled lintels and features a Welsh slate roof with stacks made of pale orange brick. The building is single storey and consists of five narrow bays. The central entrance has a boarded door with a two-pane overlight, all set beneath a timber lintel. There are 12-pane sash windows, with the window on the far right located in what was previously a doorway, also featuring a timber lintel. The other windows have rounded jambs and slightly projecting sills. The roof is hipped and includes two banded ridge stacks as well as a similar lateral stack on the left side. The rear elevation displays attached ceramic insulators that were used for former power cables.
The cottage is listed for its historic interest, as Swarland Hall, which was demolished in the 1930s, is believed to have had electric lighting installed shortly after Cragside. There are also pent brick additions at the rear and on the right return, but these are not considered to be of special interest.
