Reading Room Cottage

Reading Room Cottage is a house from the mid-18th century that has been altered. It is built of slobbered rubble and has a slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has two bays. The windows feature plain stone surrounds. The door, located between the bays, also has a plain stone surround and is accessed by external steps. Above the doorway, there is the outline of a blocked 3-light window with flat-faced mullions, which indicates that the house may have originally had a thatched roof. The kneeler on the left-hand gable coping is cut for a steeper roof pitch, suggesting the eaves have been raised. This property adjoins Green Bank Cottage, which underwent similar alterations to its eaves. The cottage is listed for its group value only.
