Keystone Cottage

Keystone Cottage is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century, likely designed by John Carr. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with a stone slate roof. The house has two storeys and originally had three windows on the first floor, though the second floor now has two. The front gable features a plinth. The ground floor has a doorway to the right and a twelve-pane sash window to the left, both with monolithic lintels. Above are three windows, the central one being blind, topped by a modillion pediment that incorporates a blind oculus. An ashlar coping runs along the roofline. A ridge stack is located on the front of the gable and at the rear. To the right, slightly set back, is a flat-roofed bay of uncertain date. This bay is blind but features a modillion cornice that extends from the original pediment.

The rear elevation mirrors the front but the ground floor is largely obscured by a high wall. Above, three windows are present, with wedge-shaped lintels cut with false voussoirs. The outer windows have fifteen-pane fixed lights, while the central window is blind. A modillion pedimented gable tops the rear, also containing a blind oculus. The left-hand return, which faces Harrogate Road, has two bays with sixteen-pane sash windows on the ground floor and twelve-pane sashes above; the lintels are cut with false voussoirs.
