Description

This building, located behind Cox Close Cottage, is a house that has been divided into two separate dwellings. It dates from the late 18th century and is constructed of sandstone rubble with quoins. The roof is pantiled, featuring flat stone gable coping and two brick chimneys at either end. The house has two low storeys and consists of five bays. There are doors located in bays three and five, with the door in bay three set within a 20th-century porch. A horizontal sliding sash window is found in bay one, while another window is located in a gabled dormer that breaks the eaves. Bay three has a 20th-century casement window, with horizontally-hung casements above in the gabled dormer. Additionally, there is a small rectangular window at the eaves above the door in bay five. The building is included partly for its group value.
