Description
Meadowbank Cottage, formerly known as Teuthill Cottage, is a cottage that was likely built in the late 17th century and later encased in brick in the 19th century. It features a combination of brick and sandstone on a flush sandstone plinth, topped with a thatched roof. The cottage is one storey high with attic bedrooms and has 4-pane windows of 19th-century vernacular style set in camber-arched openings. The original framed and boarded door has been replaced and is located in a plastered slate-roofed gabled porch. To the left, there is a slate-roofed rear wing, probably from the early 19th century, and a gabled rear porch on the right. The interior has a lobby entrance plan and was originally designed with back-to-back inglenooks, with the one to the right of the front porch still intact, featuring a cambered oak bressumer. Some rooms contain stop-chamfered oak beams, and there is a replaced stair located behind the inglenooks.
