Hawthorn Cottage Old Farm Cottage

Old Farm Cottage and Hawthorn Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into two cottages. It dates back to the early 17th century, with the eaves raised and the building extended in the mid-19th century. The structure is timber framed, featuring painted brick and rendered infill set on a red sandstone plinth, along with a painted brick addition and 20th-century slate roofs. The building has a baffle-entry plan and appears to consist of five framed bays, with the eaves raised and extended to the rear on the right, creating an L-shaped layout.

The cottage is two storeys high. The framing includes slightly irregular square and rectangular panels, with four panels extending from the cill to the original wall-plate, and brickwork used for the raising of the eaves. There are short straight tension braces present. The right gable end features a queen-strut truss, where the tie beam has been replaced, along with raking struts from the collar. The projecting single-purlin ends have slots for a former lower pair of purlins.

On the exterior, there are 19th-century casement windows, one on each side of a boarded door that is sheltered by a 20th-century gabled timber porch. The first-floor windows are directly below the eaves, with an additional window on the far right. There is an infilled window immediately to the right of the right casement on the ground floor. A red brick ridge stack is positioned directly above the entrance. The 19th-century addition to the rear on the right has two segmental-headed 20th-century casements on the ground floor, with 20th-century gabled dormers breaking the eaves above; a central 19th-century brick ridge stack is also present.

While the interior could not be inspected during the resurvey in February 1987, it was noted that the right room of the main range has a timber-framed spine partition wall with square panels, although the infill had been removed at that time. There is also a plank and muntin screen on the left wall. The 20th-century flat-roofed addition to the rear is not considered to have special architectural interest.
