76, High Street

This is a late 17th-century cottage, with 18th-century windows. It is constructed of rendered rubble stone with a natural sandstone base. The thatched roof has been replaced with corrugated iron, and a ridge chimney is made of brick. The cottage originally had a two-room plan with a door directly into the hall. It is two storeys high and has a three-bay front. The left-hand corner of the front is rounded to follow the line of the rock on which it stands. The windows are casement windows with glazing bars; one window on the upper floor projects into the roof. A 20th-century door is located at the right-hand end of the cottage, approached by worn stone steps. An old hydrant sign is visible on the front and there is a circular light at the rear. The interior plan remains intact, although the exposed beams and joists are replacements. A staircase has been moved from the end wall to over the central fireplace.
