Briar and Vine Cottage

Briar and Vine Cottage is a pair of cottages that have been converted into a single dwelling, dating from the early 18th century. The building is constructed of coursed rubble with a roof made of stone slate and pantiles. It stands two storeys high and features a two-cell plan with a single-storey outshut at the rear. All windows have mid-20th century glazed casements. The doorway is located to the left of two bays of windows, which are in altered surrounds, and there is a former wide central doorway that has been blocked. The building has raised verges with coping and a central brick ridge stack. At the rear, the original outshut has a cat-slide roof, while an added outshut to the left has a lower roof.

Inside, each single cell contains two chamfered spine beams that stop against the original brick fireplace, which has back-to-back flues. The wall dividing the two cottages is believed to be a timber-framed close-studded wall that is now plastered over. The second cell has a door entry next to the stone stairs, leading to a store under the stairs with an original two-panel deal door. There was also a former timbered arcade to the outshut.
