Well Head Cottage

Well Head Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the 18th century, with extensions added in the late 19th century and late 20th century. It is built from sandstone rubble and features a timber frame with plaster infill, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The cottage has an external stone end stack with a brick shaft and an apsidal stone external bread oven that has a sandstone slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan that is roughly aligned east to west, consisting of two structural bays that are extended by one bay to the east. It is one storey high with an attic. The north elevation includes two ground floor 2-light 20th-century casement windows, one on each side, and a gabled 3-light contemporary dormer window to the left of centre, with the entry located on the south side. The frame features three panels from the cill to the wall-plate, and the added east end displays mock timber-framing.
