Quarryman's cottage, now cottage. Early C18 with probably mid-to late C19 alterations and additions. Dressed and coursed yellow/grey Grinshill sandstone rubble with ashlar facing to front and right-hand gable end rebuilt in red brick; plain tile roof. Single cell plan. One storey and gable-lit attic. Integral brick end stack to left. Small inserted first-floor square window, central ground-floor 2-light wooden casement with stone cill and keyed lintel (replacing door - see straight joints beneath) and boarded door to right with keyed lintel (inserted in widened window opening). Blocked window to left with stone cill and keyed lintel. Inscribed quarrymens' graffiti to right of door including small circles and initials "E.P." and "J.W" within lined borders (other initials illegible at the survey - December 1985). Name inscribed on left-hand blocked window: "John Fielding"(?). Right-hand gable end with pair of segmental-headed 2-light wooden casements and rubble lean-to with 2-light wooden casement to front and external brick stack to rear. Probable former blacksmith's shop set back to left with integral brick corner stack to front, 2-light wooden casement to front and pair of boarded doors inside. Interior of house not inspected. The front formerly consisted of a central doorway with flanking windows (see straight joints) and was probably altered at some time in the C19.
