Description

Black and White Cottage is a late 17th-century cottage featuring a combination of brick nogged timber-frame and stone construction, topped with a thatched roof. The building is single storey with an attic and includes a single storey stone section on the north side, creating a "T" shaped plan. It has two window bays with 16 panels of irregularly spaced small framing and a sandstone plinth. The cottage has a curved gable tie beam and one small metal leaded casement window, while the other windows are Tollemache-style cast-iron lattice casements fitted into the frame panels. At the west end of the cottage, there is a small byre that shares the same roof. Brown brick chimney stacks are present. Inside, the cottage features an inglenook beam, slightly bevelled ceiling beams, exposed ceiling joists, old ledged and battened doors, and an old cottage staircase with winders. The cottage is graded II* due to the lack of alterations to its interior, including the byre.
