Harp Bank Cottage

Harp Bank Cottage is a canal house dating from approximately 1795, originally built for the Leominster-Stourport Canal, and later altered around 1858 for the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway Company. The house is constructed of red brick in a Flemish garden-wall bond, with a plain-tiled roof featuring gabled ends. It has a brick lateral stack at the rear with two diagonally-set shafts, and a brick stack on the side of the single-storey outshut, featuring a tall shaft.

The original plan likely consisted of a single room, with the entrance on the left side and heating from a rear lateral stack. A heated single-storey outshut was added to the northwest end in the mid-19th century.

The exterior is two storeys high and features two windows with metal casements (leaded panes missing) in segmental-headed openings. A smaller casement, without a transom, is located in the gable. A segmental arch frames the doorway on the left, leading to a plank door. The outshut on the right-hand end has a tall brick stack and similar windows in its south-east gable end. A partially projecting lateral stack is at the rear, featuring a small square window to the left. The interior has not been inspected.
