Description

Clough Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, dating from the mid-17th century. It is constructed of coursed, squared, buff sandstone rubble with sandstone dressings and features a red-brick chimney. The building has a long rectangular shape with a parlour wing and stands two storeys above a basement. The south face of the cottage is topped with a plain gable and includes a five-light, splayed stone-mullioned window with a rubble hood mould, along with a similar three-light window positioned above it. The structure is accentuated by massive hammer-dressed quoins. Access to the basement is located at the right-hand end, featuring a plain stone lintel, with a five-light mullion window above it. Inside, there is an ovolo-moulded beam in the parlour. Originally, this cottage served as an estate farm for Lyme Park. There is a mid-19th century extension on the left side and a mid-20th century timber-framed garage further left, neither of which are of special interest.
