Description
This is a late 18th-century building, originally a silk weaving shed and cottage, and now a house. It is constructed of red brick in an English garden wall bond. The roof is part thatched and part Welsh slate, with two brick chimneys. The building has a long, rectangular plan and a six-bay front, with one and two-storey sections. The left three bays, originally the weaving shed and now one storey high with a thatched roof, contain a door and two 20th-century wooden casement windows with applied lead glazing. The three bays to the right, two storeys high with a slate roof, have a framed and boarded door on the left, and the remaining windows are wooden casements with small, leaded panes, largely original, set within cambered brick heads below and flat heads above. It forms a terrace along with Briercot and Laburnum Cottage, which were also silk weavers' houses and workshops.
