Blakey Cottage and Blakey House

Blakey Cottage and Blakey House is a house dating from 1694, originally built by Richard Parker, and now divided into two dwellings. The building features thin coursed stone and a stone slate roof, with a through-passage plan and stands two storeys high.

The front elevation has two first-floor windows and a cross-wing on the left, with quoins on the right side. There is a quoined doorway with a datestone above, and shaped kneelers to the right. The building has stacks at the ridge and the right end.

At the rear, there is an external, quoined, shouldered stack to the left, which is marked by a 20th-century extension that is not of interest. A chamfered quoined doorway, now a window, has a square, chamfered light above it. The right cross-wing projects forward and features a chamfered plinth, a round-arched chamfered window, and a two-light double-chamfered mullion window (now a door) with a similar window above it in its left return.

The right gable has a chamfered plinth and two two-light double-chamfered mullion windows on each floor, along with two round-arched, chamfered, blind windows in the gable. The left return also has a chamfered plinth and a chamfered quoined doorway to the right, with two four-light windows (now two-light) on the ground floor and two renewed windows above.

Inside, the housebody features a segmental-arched, chamfered, quoined fireplace with voussoirs and a relieving arch, along with a beam above. The roof includes one king-post truss with straight wind braces (one of which is missing) and massive through purlins.
