2 and 4, Lower Aspen Cottage

Lower Aspen Cottage, consisting of Nos. 2 and 4, is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century that has been converted into two dwellings. The building is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with whitewashed quoins and features a stone slate roof with stone gable copings, including a finial on the left gable. It has two storeys and three bays.

On the south side, at the junction of the second and third bays, there is an original Tudor-arched front door with a chamfered surround. The first and second bays each contain ten-light double-chamfered stone mullion and transom windows with hoodmoulds, while the third bay has a three-light stone mullion window. On the first floor, there are two double-chamfered three-light windows. The right gable features two first-floor windows, one of which was originally mullioned.

The rear of the building has two doorways; the left doorway has a chamfered surround, and the other doorway interrupts one light of an original double-chamfered stone mullion window. There is also a similar four-light window in the second bay, both of which have hoodmoulds. On the first floor, there are two similar three-light windows, with one lacking mullions.

The interior is believed to contain very large chamfered beams and an inglenook with a heck.
