Description
Clarke's Cottage is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and features a graduated stone slate roof. The building has a two-bay single-depth layout with two storeys and a 20th-century outshut at the rear. The corners of the cottage are marked by quoins. A central 20th-century porch obscures the front door and includes a three-light recessed cavetto-moulded mullion window to the left and a two-light recessed flat-faced window to the right. The eaves have been raised, coinciding with the installation of an eight-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion window on the first floor, which has a king mullion and two blocked lights, serving a workshop. The cottage features gable chimney stacks and two two-light cavetto-moulded mullion windows on the gable. The rear of the building is obscured by the 20th-century outshut.
