Royle Cottage

Royle Cottage is a cottage dating from the early to mid 19th century, which has been altered and enlarged in the 20th century. It is built of sandstone random rubble, with the front now heavily covered in ivy, and features a stone slate roof. The cottage is designed in a simplified Jacobean style and has a single depth, two-unit plan. It is one-and-a-half storeys high and has two symmetrical windows, with a first-floor band. The central doorway is protected by a shallow gabled porch, which was being completed at the time of the survey in 1991. There are two 2-light mullioned windows on each floor, with the first-floor windows located under gabled half-dormers. All windows have raised sills and chunky square-cut mullions, with 20th-century glazing. The roof has an oversailing verge and plain bargeboarding at the south end, and there is no chimney. There is a single-storey extension to the left and rear of the cottage. The interior was not inspected.
