Description
Isherwood Fold consists of a pair of cottages dated 1718, with a later addition on the right end. The cottages are built from coursed sandstone rubble and feature quoins, topped with a slate roof that has chimneys at both original gables, while the roof of the addition extends beyond the right gable. The cottages have a single pile plan, each comprising 2 bays, creating a long range of 4 bays with an additional 5th bay from the later addition. They are 2 storeys high, with a broad single storey extension at the rear of each.
The doorway for the baffle entry is located at the left end and has a lintel with a moulded square panel that contains incised lettering "C I" and a pattern of 1718 represented by three groups of five dots. Originally, there were four 4-light windows on each floor, featuring slightly recessed chamfered mullions and simple hoodmoulds over the ground floor windows. However, only the third ground floor window remains intact; the first and second lack some mullions, with the first having an added light to the left, and the fourth has been altered into a door with a large window inserted to the right. On the rear wall, there is a 6-light window with a hoodmould at ground floor level between the extensions, although the fourth light is blocked. The extensions have mostly altered windows, but some mullions are still present.
