Description

Hunter's Cottages is a cottage and outbuilding, formerly a cottage, byre, and stable, dating from the 17th century or early 18th century. The structure features random rubble with dressed stone quoins and a door surround, topped by a pantiled roof. It is a single-storey building that forms part of an old linear farm, with the cottage on the right and a range of lower farm buildings to the left. The cottage has two bays, with a door in an alternating-block surround and a 12-pane sash window to the right. To the left of the cottage is the byre, which has a small 20th-century window and large double doors. The stable on the left has a plank door and one window, along with a blocked door on the right return. The cottage roof is steeply pitched and features a reverse crow-stepped gable. This building is a rare survival of an earlier farm type in this area.
