Lower Eafield Cottages, Barn And Stables

Lower Eafield Cottages, barn, and stables are two cottages that have been converted into one house, along with an adjoining barn and stables. They were built in the late 18th century, with the stables constructed after the barn, which was built after the cottages. The buildings are made of watershot stone and have a stone slate roof. Each cottage is two stories high, double-depth, and one room wide, with the left cottage featuring an additional single-depth room on the left. The barn, located to the right, has a roof that is perpendicular to the cottages and contains a shippon on the ground floor and a hayloft above, although the floor of the hayloft no longer exists. The stable was added to the rear corner of the barn and also has a hayloft above with no floor remaining.

The cottage has three bays with quoins, head and sill bands, and flat-faced mullion windows with three, four, and three lights on the ground floor and three, seven, and five lights on the first floor. The two doors have square-cut lintels and three-piece jambs. The barn features three shippon entries, triangular-headed vents, and a pointed voussoir arch hay door above the central entry, along with an owl hole. There are also two similar hay doors on the side elevation, two blocked doorways, two windows, five vents, and moulded eaves corbels. The stable includes a central door, two windows, and a square pitching door above, with the stalls still remaining inside. The barn has queen-post trusses.
