Fern Hill Cottage

Fern Hill Cottage is an early 18th-century cottage located on the north-west side of Fern Hill Lane, Rochdale. It was originally listed as No. 9 under Fern Hill. The cottage is constructed of coursed rubble with stone dressings and a stone slate roof. It has a 2-unit plan, arranged over two storeys, and features a large central entrance porch. The exterior includes a stone plinth and quoins. The windows originally had flush chamfered mullions, although most have since been removed. The ground floor formerly contained a 2-light window to the left and a 5-light window to the right, while the first floor had a 4-light and a 3-light window. The central porch has an off-centre door with a heavily chamfered stone surround, a gable, a central owl-hole, and kneelers. The rear and side walls have been entirely rebuilt and now contain 20th-century casement windows.
