Description
The Long Mynd Cottage is a cottage and former smithy dating from around 1700. It is constructed of painted limestone rubble and features a plain tile roof with a partial catslide at the rear. The building is aligned north-west to south-east and has a north-east aspect. It is one storey high with an attic and includes three rooms, with the smithy located to the right.
The cottage has two gabled eaves dormers on the left, each containing 2-light casements, and a central brick ridge stack. There are two 19th-century 2-light casements on the left flanking a boarded door, along with an off-centre 2-light casement to the right that has boarded shutters, and two large boarded doors also to the right.
Inside, the cottage features timber-framed transverse partition walls with square panels, extending up to the wall plate. The roof structure includes queen strut roof trusses with V-struts above the collar. A hearth remains in the smithy.
