Forge Cottage

Forge Cottage is a pair of cottages, now functioning as a single cottage, likely built in the 18th century, possibly for Richard Payne Knight. The structure is made of sandstone rubble and features a tiled roof with a rear stack that has a brick chimney. It has a rectangular plan with four structural bays and a central rubble cross wall, aligned in a north-east/south-west direction. The cottage is one storey high with an attic.

The south elevation includes two windows with 2-light wrought-iron casements set in gabled dormers, while the ground floor has casements with three lights. There is a ledged 18th-century door located on the right side. The rear elevation features a small central projection with a bread oven that extends to the gable, divided by a brick stack.

Inside, the cottage has ledged doors with strap hinges. The trusses include king-posts, each with one queen post, which support asymmetrical attic doors. The heavy beams are adorned with lamb's tongue run-out chamfer stops. The oak floorboards include one marked with the 18th-century initial "RK," which may indicate a batch of timber used for Payne Knight.
