Description
Oldfield Cottage and the adjoining barn are a house and barn dating from the late 18th century. They are constructed from hammer-dressed watershot stone and feature a graduated stone slate roof. The house is a double-range, two-storey structure, with the barn continuing from the southern range. The entrance elevation is gabled and includes a door with an overlight, along with five, five, and two-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion windows. The southern range has two five-light windows on each floor, shaped eaves gutter brackets, and two ridge chimney stacks. The barn, which was built at a later date, has two shippon doors with dressed surrounds at the lower level and a cart entrance at the upper level on the north side. Similar windows are present on the other two elevations of the barn.
