Description
Wansbeck Cottage is a cottage built in the second quarter of the 19th century. It is constructed from tooled-and-margined stone with tooled-and-margined ashlar dressings and features a blue slate roof. The cottage is one storey high and has three symmetrical bays. It includes a plinth and an eaves cornice. The central entrance consists of a flush-panelled door with a 14-pane overlight, set within a chamfered surround and sheltered by a later trellis porch. There are three-light mullioned windows, all with chamfered surrounds and hollow-chamfered hoodmoulds. The roof is pyramidal, topped with a central stepped-and-corniced compound stack. To the right, there is a set-back pent outshut with a flush-panelled door. Wansbeck Cottage was formerly the village post office.
