The Cottage And Attached Outbuilding

The Cottage and attached outbuilding is a building dating from the mid to late 17th century, with later additions and alterations. The cottage features painted uncoursed limestone rubble and brick, while the right part of the outbuilding is timber framed with painted brick infill. It has a graded slate roof. The cottage is designed in an end baffle-entry plan with two framed bays, and it has a single-bay cowhouse, which was later used as a smithy and is now for storage, attached to the left gable end. There is a lower building attached to the left, which was formerly a horses' entrance to the smithy and is now converted into a garage. The structure is one storey with an attic.

The cottage has two 19th-century gabled eaves dormers, a 20th-century casement window to the left, and a 19th-century casement window to the right on the ground floor. There is a boarded door to the far right, situated under a 20th-century open gabled timber porch. An integral end stack is located directly above, featuring a painted brick shaft. There is an infilled doorway to the left at the junction with the outbuilding, which has two 20th-century windows on the front. At the rear of the cottage, there are 19th-century rubblestone lean-tos.

Inside, the cottage has a chamfered spine beam in the ground-floor room, which includes a large open fireplace to the right with a chamfered wooden lintel. There is an infilled fireplace in the rear left corner. Some timber framing is fragmentarily exposed, including on the back wall of the outbuilding, showcasing square panels with woven infill. The staggered single-purlin roof, which spans three bays (including the outbuilding), features one queen-strut, one queen-post, and one collar and tie beam truss from left to right, with straight windbraces. The position of the infilled fireplace indicates that the smithy once extended into the left part of the house.
