Description

Earlsdale Cottage is a pair of cottages that have been combined into one house. It likely dates from the late 18th century and has undergone some later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble with red brick dressings and features a graded slate roof. It has one storey and an attic, which is illuminated by two gabled eaves dormers from the late 19th or 20th century, each with 20th-century casements directly beneath. On the ground floor, there are two boarded doors, with 20th-century casements positioned under mid-19th century segmental heads on the left and right. The cottage also has stepped external end stacks with tall brick shafts.
