Birches and barn to the east

This is a smallholder's or squatter's cottage, likely dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, alongside a barn from the mid-19th century. The cottage is built of painted rubble stone with a synthetic slate roof, while the barn is of stone with a tiled roof.

The cottage is a rectangular building oriented east-west, with a substantial external chimneystack on the west gable, next to a small extension. A large, 20th-century outshut extension stands against the south elevation. The northern elevation has only a small square window opening. The southern elevation is largely hidden by the 20th-century kitchen extension, which is excluded from the listing, and above it are two pitched dormers. A window is located on the right side, formed from a former door opening into the former animal shelter. A wide, stepped stone chimneystack sits external to the west gable, adjoined by a single-storey extension under a pitched roof. The east elevation has a ground-floor window, and the windows are irregularly sized, featuring 20th-century casements.

The barn, situated a short distance to the east and separated by the access driveway, is rectangular, also oriented east-west, with a simple pitched roof. It includes a doorway and a small square window in the southern elevation, and a square taking-in door in the western gable end.

The interior of the cottage shows plain detailing, typical of humble buildings. The main ground-floor room has a wide fireplace with a 19th-century cooking range, and two deep axial beams in the ceiling. The room that was formerly an animal shelter has exposed joists supporting a later first floor. A winder stair is enclosed with simple panelling. Upstairs, there is a bedroom on either side of a central landing. The west bedroom includes a cast iron fireplace, and both bedrooms have matchboarded ceilings with a single rank of exposed purlins.

Inside the barn, roughly-hewn joists support the floor above, and the loft is ceiled with matchboarding.

A 20th-century extension adjoining the south elevation of the cottage has been formally declared to be of no special architectural or historic interest.
