Description
Tudor Cottage and Gravenor House are two houses that were originally a single house and later a workhouse. The building dates from the late 16th century, with some partial refacing in the 19th century and additions made in the 20th century on the left and rear sides. It features a timber-framed structure that is partly rendered, with 19th-century painted coursed limestone refacing on the left and a graded slate roof. The building may have originally had an open hall with two framed bays on the left and a gabled cross wing projecting to the right.
The framing consists of square panels, four high up to the wall plate, and the cross wing has a jettied first floor that rests on end brackets. There is decorative herringbone framing on the first floor and in the gable, which was refaced with planted timbers in the 20th century. The building has two storeys and features a central rendered ridge stack. The windows are 20th-century metal casements, with one two-light window on each floor to the left and one three-light window on each floor of the cross wing. There are four steps leading up to a boarded door located at the angle of the cross wing, which is sheltered by a 19th-century hipped slate-roofed timber porch. A one-storey lean-to is situated on the left side, and the entrance to Gravenor House is located at the rear.
