Daisy Cottage

Daisy Cottage is a house with origins dating back to the 17th century or earlier, incorporating reused medieval stonework. It has undergone alterations and additions in the 18th and 19th centuries, with 20th-century additions to the left gable. The construction utilizes limestone ashlar facing, with red brick to the right gable, stacks, and outshut. The roof is covered in pantiles.

The house is a three-room lobby-entry plan, and features a blocked entrance to the left of centre. It has a continuous rear outshut in two sections, with a later toilet extension to the rear left, and the present entrance is at the rear. It is a single-storey building with an attic, arranged in four bays. The central bay's entrance has a square-headed chamfered reveal with a dripmould above, featuring an inserted 12-pane sliding sash window and ashlar blocking below. A single ashlar window is located to the left, and two to the right. These windows were originally three-light windows with inserted 12-pane sliding sashes, with blocked single lights. The windows to the left and right retain single chamfered mullions and all have stepped and chamfered reveals. A plain wooden eaves board runs along the top. A pair of dormers are present with 12-pane sliding sashes beneath weatherboarded gables; the left dormer has brick cheeks, while the right dormer has lead cheeks. Ashlar ridge coping is present on the left gable with shaped kneelers, while the right gable has brick coping with a carved head corbel reset as a kneeler. There is a ridge stack, with a rebuilt top section; a truncated end stack to the right; and a 20th-century external stack to the left gable. The front facade incorporates re-set stones with dogtooth moulding between windows and below the eaves on the right side.

The left return displays a pair of blocked single-light ground-floor ashlar windows with stepped reveals – the right window being partly obscured by a stack – and a similar attic window with an 8-pane sliding sash beneath a moulded dripstone. The right return, which features carved heads and datestones from 1601 and the mid-18th century (obscured by creeper), includes a rear section with board doors, sliding sashes, and a semicircular oven projection with an ashlar cap. Internally, exposed joists are visible in the rooms at the left and right ends; the interior has not been fully investigated.
