Description

Pear Tree Cottage is a house dating to the late 17th century, with later 18th-century window replacements. It is constructed of rendered rubble with a slate roof, and follows a central-entry plan with end stacks. The house has two storeys. Door and window openings have plain stone surrounds. All windows are of two lights with square mullions, two on each floor. The left-hand window on the ground floor has fixed lights with glazing bars. The right-hand window has a lowered sill. The first-floor left-hand window has glazing bars; one half is a sash window and the other is a casement. A blocked, chamfered, one-light fire window of 17th-century type is visible on the ground floor to the left. A stack projects from the right-hand gable. Former stables to the left, originally under a continuous roof, were converted into an extension to the house in 1948.
