Description

Carrs Cottage is a pair of cottages built in the mid 18th century, with an early 19th-century addition. The cottages are constructed from hammer-dressed stone with dressed quoins and feature a stone slate roof. They are two storeys high, and the east front has quoins separating each cottage. Each cottage has a six-light flat-faced mullioned window on both floors, while a three-light chamfered window and a two-light window above it lack mullions. The right-hand return wall features a four-light chamfered window that is missing two mullions. At right angles, there is a small gabled outshut with a blocked doorway and a three-light flat-faced mullioned window in the gable. The rear of the cottages includes a five-light chamfered mullioned window with a three-light window above it that also lacks mullions. The added cottage is set back and has a doorway with a chamfered surround in the angle between the two cottages, along with a two-light window above. The 19th-century cottage has a doorway with tie-stone jambs and two-light windows that lack mullions. The earlier cottage is taller and features a prominent stack. Inside the earliest cottage, there is a fireplace with corbelled jambs.
