Smithy Smithy Cottage

Smithy and Smithy Cottage, built around 1865 by William Nesfield, is a two-storey structure located in Weston, Stowford. The building features red English garden wall bond brick with clapboarding and a plain tile roof. The front of the building has a jettied first floor, supported by three deep brackets of projecting brickwork at both ends and to the right of the door.

The facade consists of two bays; the left bay contains a single light window, while the right bay has a door with wrought iron strap hinges. The two projecting brickwork brackets that form the porch have ashlar pieces shaped like kneelers as their last course, decorated with 'pies' similar to those found at Kinmel Park in Denbighshire. The first floor jetty is adorned with cement coving featuring five panels of pargetted work, each designed with a sunflower pattern and set with the bottoms of green glass bottles, a design first seen at the Regents' Park Lodge the previous year.

Currently, the first floor walling is covered by 20th-century clapboarding. To the right, there is a four-light casement window, and to the left, a two-light window. The roof is half-hipped and includes a metal rod supporting a pennant at the angle, inscribed with the letter C (for Crewe).

To the left, there is a single-storey smithy that has been converted into a garage, featuring two three-light windows with moulded brick mullions on the right and a 20th-century garage door on the left. The left side of the house has a two-light ground floor window on the left and a pointed arched ground floor window on the right, which is set with panes of bulls eye glass. Above, on the first floor, there is a hipped dormer window with two casement lights. At the rear of the smithy, there is a small stable adjoining the structure.
