Description

Jowett House and the adjoining cottage are located on New Road in Cawthorne. The house is dated 1690 and was either added to or partially rebuilt in the late 18th century, while the cottage dates from the mid to late 19th century. The building is constructed of thinly-coursed rubble with quoins, and the cottage is made of red brick with rock-faced stone dressings and quoins. Both structures have stone slate roofs and are two storeys high.

The house features four bays plus a single-bay cottage. The left two bays of the house have three-light double-chamfered windows, except for the ground-floor right bay which has a two-light window. Quoins separate this section from the late 18th-century rebuild, which includes a reset quoined and chamfered entrance with a cambered head and a decorative oval with a recut inscription reading '1690'. This section also has three-light flat-faced, recessed mullion windows, with one on the ground floor and two on the first floor. The cottage has an entrance on the left and one three-light window on each floor, both with hoodmoulds.

At the rear, there is a two-bay outshut to the right, a later single-storey gable wing in the centre, and a lean-to addition to the cottage, likely built around the same time as the cottage itself. The left return of the house has several windows, including two double-chamfered windows on the side of the outshut.

Inside, there is timber arcading in the rear outshut.
