Blackett House And Temperance Cottage

Blackett House and Temperance Cottage are a house and cottage, originally an inn and later a temperance hotel. The house is constructed of ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. It dates to the 18th century and has two storeys and four windows, with a lower, one-bay cottage attached to the right. The house is divided into a two-bay section to the left and a slightly projecting, cross-gabled section to the right. A panelled door with a five-pane overlight sits within a stone porch with Gothic bargeboards, positioned in the re-entrant angle. Sixteen-pane sash windows are present above and to the left. The projecting section features a canted bay window with stone mullions and a pent roof, surmounted by two two-light windows. A large painted crest of the Blackett family is displayed in the gable.

The cottage has a 20th-century door with a triple keystone. A two-light window is visible on the ground floor, with a gabled half-dormer positioned above. The roof is gabled, with flat coping on the left side and ridged coping with kneelers elsewhere. End stacks are present; the stack on the left is plain, while the one on the right is corniced.
