Cottage Attached To West End Of High Cross Moor Farmhouse

The cottage attached to the west end of High Cross Moor Farmhouse is a late 17th-century structure with early 19th-century additions and alterations. It is built of rubble brought to course, featuring dressed quoins and a stone slate roof. The cottage is two storeys high and has a two-cell direct-entry plan with two first-floor windows. The ground floor includes a central doorway with monolithic jambs, flanked by two 19th-century two-light flat-faced mullioned windows that have two-paned sashes. The first floor retains two double-chamfered mullioned windows with almost square reveals, consisting of three lights and four lights. There are two stacks on the ridge, which were formerly gable stacks; the right stack is 17th-century and made of ashlar with a cornice. Attached at right angles to the right side is a former two-storey workshop, which has a doorway and a small window on the side, as well as a taking-in door to the first floor set in the gable. There is a single stack offset from the ridge on the west side of the roof. Later additions to either end of the cottage are of no special interest. It is likely that this workshop was associated with the craft of nail-making. The cottage is currently unoccupied.
