Description

Storrs Hall Cottage is a house built in 1713 and altered later. It is constructed from sandstone rubble and has a slate roof. The cottage has two storeys and three bays, featuring rebated and chamfered mullioned windows, with a drip course above the ground floor. The left bay contains windows with four lights, while the right bay has three lights. The central bay has a one-light window on the first floor and a doorway that has been blocked to form a window, which features an ovolo-moulded surround. Above this doorway is a plaque inscribed with 'TWM 1713'. The building has gable chimneys.

At the rear, facing the road, there are two adjoining gabled wings, with the left wing possibly being original. This wing has three two-light rebated and chamfered mullioned windows, one of which is at an intermediate level likely providing light to a stair. On the ground floor of this wing is a one-light window. Under the gable, there is a plaque that is said to have been removed from a demolished cottage across the road, inscribed: 'RHC Nunc mei mox hujus Sed postea nescio cujus 1743'. The right wing features a re-used three-light mullioned window on the ground floor, a two-light flush chamfered mullioned window on the first floor, and a chamfered door surround of 19th-century style on the left. Above this door is a stone tablet carved with a deer in relief.
