The Cottage And Grey Eaves

NETHER WYRESDALE STATION LANE SD 54 NW 5/173 Scorton 17-4-1967 The Cottage and Grey Eaves GV II Houses, C17, altered. Cruck-framed with rendered rubble walls and slate roof replacing thatch, apart from part of Grey Eaves, which is covered with asbestos sheets. One storey with attic. The Cottage, at the right, has modern windows with plain reveals: 2 to the left of the door and one to the right. There are 2 gabled attic dormers. Grey Eaves, at the left, has an earlier part which appears to be of the same build as the left-hand part of The Cottage and is of one bay. The windows have plain reveals. The ground-floor one is modern. Above, under the eaves and lighting the attic, is a casement with glazing bars. At the left is a 2-bay 2-storey C19 addition with a roof hipped at the left. Its windows are modern with plain reveals. The left-hand bay has a blocked ground-floor doorway. Chimneys on right-hand gable, between houses, and to right of C19 addition to Grey Eaves. Inside, The Cottage has 2 cruck trusses with re-used blades, collars, tie beams, and blades joined by yokes below the apex. The trusses are in the walls which divide the ground floor into 3 main rooms. The front door, opening into the middle room, is unlikely to be in its original position, as mortise holes in the soffits of the 2 beams suggest that the room was once divided by a wall running from front to back and by a second axial wall. The right-hand room has exposed ceiling joists, the axial main beam being a modern replacement.
