Description
Fold House is an 18th-century cottage that stands two storeys tall, constructed from coursed stone and topped with a stone slate roof featuring two stacks. The building has rusticated quoins and a modern stone porch. There is one window above another, which was originally a three-light window with stone mullions but has since been altered to have wood mullions. Additionally, there is a 19th-century canted bay window on the gable end, situated below a three-light window. This property is included for its group value.
