Description

This is a late 17th-century cottage that was later extended in the late 18th century and early 19th century with a laithe-house, now forming a single dwelling. The cottage is built of thin, hammer-dressed stone with dressed quoins, while the laithe-house uses finer, well-coursed stone with quoins to its east end. The cottage has two single-light windows with plain stone surrounds to the left of a three-light window; it also has a doorway with monolithic jambs. The first floor has four single-light windows. It has a coped gable to the west and a single stack to the ridge. Attached to the main building is a barn with a basket-arched cart entry featuring monolithic jambs and a keystoned Venetian window above. The laithe-house section has flat-faced mullioned windows with slightly projecting sills: three lights to the ground floor and four lights to the first floor. A single stack sits on the ridge, marking the division between the house and barn. A single-cell section of the original late 17th-century house is set back and has a lower roofline. This section includes a doorway with a chamfered surround to the left of a chamfered mullioned window, originally of four lights but now two wide, and a first-floor former three-light window with a chamfered surround. It features quoins and a reduced gable stack.
